The clip of film just featured at the end of Newsnight much to Jereny Paxman's wry amusement!

I couldn't get the BBC video to work so if the same thing happened to you, here is a youtube link. Definitely worth watching. Cheers.

A drag chute rigged with a swivel wouild make the old Sea King ride much nicer and make it a lot more stable.
