Like you, BEagle, I cringed every time I heard this reference, as the subject manoeuvre was neither.
Just surprised that the editors (at least one from the service I assume) didn't pick it up. Otherwise this is turning out to be good, well-informed entertainment.
Please could you explain why the manoeuvre was not a "4-point barrel roll"? And if not, what would you call it and why?
