While it might sound slightly distasteful on the telly, I think being able to hear the CVR in this case could actually be a deterrent to the next young'un. A stark reminder that all banter is evidence in the subsequent enquiry.
Seems to me that a disproportionate number of Pumas crash compared to the rest of the helo force. Their tasking doesn't seem any more arduous than the rest so what's the problem? An engrained culture of cowboyism? How are 60(R) streaming the pilots into the Puma force? Haven't they just finished a close look at Puma SF ops?
This kid was flying like an idiot - no question. But - it's hard to believe the Sqn/Station exec's hadn't engaged in the same bufoonery at some point earlier in their careers and therefore armed with this knowledge could have helped nip this sort of thing in the bud as the culture has surely moved on these days - we just can't tolerate this kind of flying. The pilot was ultimately responsible for his actions (he certainly paid for them - along with the rest) but the leadership is almost certainly just as much to blame.
