I remember this story - I was a signaller on 36 sqn Hastings from late 1965 to mid 1967. My first operational flights were on a detachment to RAF Nicosia where I heard the tale - the story, at the time, went along the lines of a captain telling his co-pilot that he'd 'show him how to fly low over the water '!! If I remember rightly, the inboard props were just 9" lower than the outboards ! Don't remember any names.
