Interesting Landing Video
Old Beefer - yes it was OK at Bishops Court, you just had to pretend you had seen a suspicious vehicle which caused you to pork the wingover and fly into the ground!
Xwalter - no, not heard about the certificate - must have been to protect soemones blossoming career!

Good point.
Still, its wasn't as if it were the 'proper' Army who first used aircraft, just the Royal (Bodgit and Scarper) Engineers.....

How wrong can one website name be? "rcfun" indeed...
Is it just me, or is the guy on the quadbike-thing rubbing his head as he moves away from the Merlin?
Optimism points also go to the people responsible for the Concorde in Virgin markings you see right near the end of the film!

Did anyone actually answer Plasticab's question?
"I bet the incident report made an interesting read.....but then(allegedly) there wasn't one.
Was the 'display' an auth'd one? Who was in the left seat? Answers will probably see this one 'swept' under the carpet, or will the driver fall on his sword to take the heat off someone else?
It is a rumour network after all.........."

For those SH folks that remember the Bitburg 7 and the Poland 5 I am sure will agree that if any skullduggery went on then some promotion seeking bastard Flt lt, cheers Dickie, will dob the unfortunate miscreant in
all spelling mistakes are "df" alcohol induced

ABIW,
Interesting sentiment. I was the Chinook captain who handed over the Bitburg task to the crew involved in the occurrences there. I was also the one "dobbed" to go down to the Falklands 3 days before Christmas to take over from the pilot who had been involved in the shenanigans - if you remember, he was stopped in the departure lounge at Brize and told to go back to Germany to participate in the investigation. So you think the promotion-seeking Flt Lt was wrong, do you?
Well, I don't. A measure of how naive I can be is that when SKPR told me the reason for the investigation it took me 2-3 days to be convinced there was a case. I had no idea that people I worked alongside (the 2 crews on the second half of the Sandhurst task) were capable of being so stupid. Despite the fact that I suffered an additional short-notice S Atlantic summer (with the pilot of the Merlin as Sqn Cdr - a story for another time, perhaps) I am grateful to all whistle-blowers for helping rid us of unpredictable, unstable operators. "Unfortunate miscreant"? Yeah, right...
Different form of alleged-misdeed from the one being discussed in this video, though. At least MB didn't deliberately set out to flout significant numbers of rules or operate in a manner contrary to the spirit of the organisation.

I thought all Plasticab was after was some open-ness? It's only when you say nothing that people think you have something to hide...
Is there something hidden?

Can anyone tell me what has happened to the link to the display video? It seems to have disappeared from here and the RCFun website link wont play either.........a senior officer conspiracy perhaps? Surely not a cover up?
