I was part of the emergency services team at IAT 93 and remember giving a thumbs up to a Puma as he taxied from North side and their was'nt a lot of space between the blades and the top of some engineering guys discovery. I then ran bout 1/2 mile to get keys and move it. Which for me,then and now, is a very long way. At the time the fireries thought they were looking for a dead Mig pilot!! A few beers were sunk that night!!
I think I was the only Puma pilot there that year; we launched out of the static park on 24th July in response to the mid-air collision of the two Mig 29s. So it might have been me. Very lucky the mid-air didn't result in a major disaster. I recall Red 1 complaining bitterly on the tower frequency about a SARBE warbling on 243.0 as they taxied out to display shortly afterwards. It was from one of the the Russian ejector seats.......
Nothing seen this year, thankfully.
