Maybe the Helicopter landing would have been different. I’m at that age now that and was lucky enough to have gone to a school that we got a Leuchars Whirlwind then Wessex come once a year, then some of us got the opportunity to fly in a Puma around 1977 with the school. I ended up with the AAC though and took a Gazelle back mid 80s with a Brigadier to encourage the younger generation.
