That Farnborough video reminded me of 1964 when 848 Squadron flew in the airshow in the Wessex 5. We put on a simulated commando assault complete with jets & numerous explosions....great fun! The surprising thing was how we still managed to fly after a week of fabulous hospitality from the various firms! Not forgetting the Triumph Tina scooters we were loaned which seemed to cause more casualties than flying!
