Re Sooty AAC

On this occasion Sooty was LHS commander. They'd done several low passes over a convoy when a low level wing over was attempted. It all went very wrong and the Gazelle promptly did it's party trick of reverting to kit form.

I flew out to the crash site with the CO, and I've never seen a man so angry. The aircraft looked like it had been bulldozed into a heap. How no-one was seriously injured, I've no idea.
