Looked out of the crewroom one day at Shawbury to see a student pilot practising parachute rolls in front of the Sqn??
Pilot had been briefed that, as a post solo pilot on the Wessex, she would be required to monitor the brakes, whilst the broken Wessex was recovered by Chinook, underslung from Chetwynd!
In the event of an emergency jettison she would parachute out of the Wessex to safety!!
Nice one W**w**k!!
