This JP trivia has I am sure little if anything to do with the main thrust of the thread other than perhaps highlighting that there has always been some debate about the risk vs. benefits of practising some manoeuvres.
Trivia, really ?
They were not done at CFS or SORF even though our “ students” were all qualified pilots, some highly so. That was 1970 to 73..
