On visiting Wyton in early 80s as guest of 360 "B" Flight Boss,there were discussions on the banning of Aerobatics,and no Formation closer than "Battle" with the Canberra,as the Boss had had his wrist slapped by "Wee Willy".Various long standing Members, Ex Germany from the early 60s ,remembered an apparent approved manoever called the "De Saumerez Loop",performed by a B(I)6 or maybe an 8.On reading the thread on "Vulcan Aerobatics",a memory bank opened!!Does anyone else know anything else about it ,which was a half loop and roll out,or half cuban eight????????
