The backflip from the hover, as opposed to a fully flown "loop" in the Lynx used to be referred to as "The Elphinstone Loop".
Not sure you're correct on that one P6. I'm pretty sure the Elphinstone Loop was a very steep wingover which, when looked at from the ground appeared to be a loop. Often carried out in a Gazelle, it was (supposed to be) within the Pitch roll limits. I'm sure more experienced hands than me on this means will be quick to jump in and correct me if I'm wrong!!

cue, TC, SS, Crab, et al....
