There was a flight safety film, quite a few years ago I'm afraid, that showed the effect of wing-tip vortices close to the ground and a stationary helicopter on the ground at the Marshalling Point - quite a bit of blade sail. A further sequence showed a vortex leaving the wing, as an aircraft touched down, and rolling across the airfield as its energy dissipated. Does anyone know if the film still around?
