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.
So it would seem this apocryphal tale is true then!
The name of the WO2 chap concerned who was standing in for Matthew Corbett I forget, but I know in 1992 he was serving on 658 and drove a white 3 series touring... funny the things you do remember!
I imagine the immediate debrief and subsequent BoI were 'interesting' to say the least...
