I was in on a short visit from Odiham to Gutersloh when I was flying Pumas on 33 Squadron. Gut had 18 Sqn with Wessex at the time and for some reason Mickey Martin, o/ic RAF Germany asked for a ride to see what one was like.
I knew Mickey personally as he had been the first to arrive when Chunky Lord and myself wrote off a Whirlwind when he was AOC 38 Group.
Off we went with him in the LHS and I demonstrated rotor tip vortices when you were close up to trees and then I took him low level (50 ft.) on the Dambuster's track on the Moehne Dam.
It was a favour returned. I got away with the prang and Chunky only got an admonishment.
