What's happened to the 'Not the best flying I've seen' thread? I was following it, but it seems to have gone. Anyone know?

At a guess - we have been censored.

Wrong guess. It was deleted by the thread originator: but I'll close this one :p

I too was enjoying the thread referred to in here (http://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/371484-whats-happened-not-best-flying-thread.html). In fact I was mid-reply when the thread was deleted yesterday. My history does not show the link to the video - anyone got it?

My post would have been:

Bit of a wobble at 0:46-0:48 - but nothing worse than my attempts to keep the ol' paraffin budgie* under control.

The biggest puzzle with this video for me is why the two high-viz chappies close the gates once she's down. Perspective is difficult but I can't imagine how having the gates open helps under any circumstances other than coming through on wheels. In the 'open' position they are closer to the H and reduce the options available to our lucky~ pilot, no?
