Shawn - you were great - are you sure Q Smith is a helicopter pilot? he looks like a bit of a luvvie with that stick-on beard, not at all a macho helo driver.
Not only is the Lynx the fastest but it is the only heli that will backflip - a completely unique manoeuvre that you can't replicate in a fixed-wing. Despite what Neil Bishop said, the loop is easy, you just have to keep the wings level as you pull up and compensate for the acceleration cross-couple that makes it roll right with aft cyclic.
Shame they didn't get an RAF Sea King to show the RN what real precision winching looks like
