There's no doubt he was a courageous man and a very good pilot, but like
all of us, he had his faults. His overwhelming belief in himself was
partly to blame for his accident in the Bulldog - attempting a manoeuvre
that was known to be highly dangerous but doing it anyway in order to
show off. Typical scrum half.

Typical pilot, in those days anyway.

Look at Jimmy Doolittle flying over the Andes with two broken legs.
