I wasn’t part of the shutdown crew and recalling that on that very same dispersal several years earlier a Wessex thrashed itself to pieces during a ground resonance incident (cars damaged hundreds of metres away) - I watched this shutdown from a safe distance!



Aahhhh, wasn't that a certain Wing Commander, who reputedly climbed over the other pilot to get out and also managed later to tear the tailskid out of the boom of a Puma and then tried to pin it on the Rigger that did the turnround prior to his flight?, so much so they had a Landy scouring the airfield looking for the impact point!
