I see the journalists are bang up to date with their terminology as usual. Today's Times is talking about the Red Arrows not performing "stunts" at this year's air show, because the Hunter failed to pull out of a "loop-the-loop" at Shoreham.
Seems that journalese is firmly stuck somewhere in the 1920s!
Because if the journalists referred instead to 'Cuban 8s' and 'conic vapour' etc, their readers would of course know what they were on about...
