I once declined to carry out my designated Puma display at Chicksands, because there was no defined crowd or display line. Instead I offered to arrive early, land and do a static display for the day.

I was later appalled to see another military helicopter (red and white Gazelle) arrive on scene then carry out a semi aerobatic display directly over the crowd, including a vertically nose down descent with what must have been an unauthorised female companion in the left seat.

One of us was unprofessional. I don’t think it was me.
