General Comment:

I am SO relieved to see so many folks agree with the sensible view.

I reported a Families Day flypast (Falcons) at Lyneham pointing out the aircraft rolled to well over 100° bank (filmed).

The SH1T hit the fan and it was explained to me (as an OCU instructor) that a barrel roll exerted 1 g all the way round. I responded that I presumed Lockheed knew that too. I asked how many pilots have the requisite skill - no answer.

But once more, there was tacit approval of unauthorised manoeuvres all the way up the corridor - so why bother eh? The pilot in this case was known as a bully (very similar name) and I was assured that it would be dealt with 'in house'.

More bollocks . . . nothing happened.
