Being at the back of a rear box was no fun either. As I recall the 24 ship was two vics of boxes, stacked down, so the rear aeroplanes were a hell of a lot lower than the leader.
On return to Oakington, after the switch to echelon starboard, the lead was taken by an ex Coastal pilot, who in best maritime tradition called "Break port now,now, NOW" Result was two big twitches, followed by the break.
I heard that the two students had already done two sucessful barrel rolls, but lost it on the third one.
