The other point that needs to be looked at is why an experienced pilot like Mannock was flying 200 feet above the ground behind enemy lines?

I suspect, like Richthofen on April 21, 1918, Mick was suffering from battle fatigue. Perhaps he had given up all hope of surviving the war and was no longer taking the precautions that he would have taken earlier in his career.
