Is there any truth in the story about the solo display JP rehearsal at Linton at the time of a well-known advertising campaign? The standard version is that the aviator got a low-level barrel-roll wrong and smacked the aircraft down moderately hard on the runway, whence it slid along shedding bits of itself. When it finally stopped, the Station Commander (who had been watching the display) is supposed to have turned to OC Flying and observed "I bet he drinks Carling Black Label".
