You will understand that 'a pilot of my experience' doesn't put things like that on forums lightly. I have seen too many accidents in my time caused by overconfident pilots trying to show how good they are to worry about offending someone if it prevents the same happening again.

Authorised advanced handling is one thing - display manoeuvres is another.

Even in isolation, the wire-strike asks questions about operating heights unless this set of triple 11KvA was strung across a valley.

I just get the feeling you are protesting too much.
And I get the feeling you are now just embarrassed about what you wrote. Like all these events, let’s leave it to a properly constituted SI.
