Wingovers at DHFS

I was told yesterday that wingovers have been removed from the syllabus at DHFS - anyone know when and why that happened?

They were formally taught from 1990 following a crash at Bishop's court because Sqn pilots would end up flying the manoeuvres anyway and it was sensibly deemed far better for them to be shown how to do it properly instead of experimenting and scaring themselves (not to mention trashing the aircraft).
