As shown by the date this tread started, this has been bouncing around for a while. These ideas were proposed at a RUSI event in April 2012 and there was much rolling of eyes and shaking of heads.

I can also tell you with certainty that these ideas are not for the benefit of either the casualties or the aircrew.
