Apart from being considered dodgy, the Vic Break is a scrappy looking manoeuvre compared with an Echelon Break.
Will pass that on to the Reds!
Nothing wrong in breaking from Vic, but a big difference between breaking front-to-back (Reds) or back-to-front (BFTS). However, that has no bearing on this incident. I still maintain you expect the guy 'ahead' of you to be in the correct bit of sky; you can't always watch him throughout whilst you are still in formation before you break!
