Shy, I remember the story you mention very well - I started on the Wessex in '83 and that story would be recounted at every opportunity - especially during the IF phase!
Someone managed to get a Wessex on its back in the Aldergrove zone in '85 or '86 (again on an IF sortie waiting for an SRA) which is why we never let ex-Puma pilots do wingovers again
And ex-Chinook pilots were even worse, especially if they were 'distracted' during the manoeuvre and forgot to avoid the ground
