I may be mistaken but do you think the film was reversed to give that effect?

I don't think so. He touches down left of the camera and moves to the right, then he backs up (toward the left) and lifts off right in front of the camera. :shock:

If its the one I saw at Farnborough a few years ago it was a RAF Chinook and that the crew flies UK Special Forces. I think it was described as how they off load the troops on the move so they wont get hit by ground fire.
