I take it you mean Darryl W+++++ks, yes a lot was borrowed from him as the first RA(A)F Chinook display pilot and his display was superb! I guess he set the standard everyone else had to try for.

I've been in touch with him this week and he says he might make it over for the dinner. Thanks again.
I remember being detached one exercise to Upavon, which at the time was 38 Group HQ and he was one of the last to arrive, he came up the valley at the bottom of the field low level and cranked it around the big house to announce the arrival of the new Chinooks to the RAF.... Didn't go down well with them.
