Japans' leaders would have had every man, woman and child fight to the death rather than surrender had it not been for the H bombs. Many more were killed and maimed by the fuel air bombs dropped prior to the raids on Hiroshima and Nagasaki that virtually decimated all Japanese cities yet they refused to surrender. The war, indeed all wars are tragedy in and of themself, not just for one act which ultimately brought peace and saved those that were fortunate to survive.

There was a great docu-drama on TV tonight, 'About Waitangi: what really happened', which was kind of an idiot's guide to the treaty. Very well done, and worth a watch (I guess it'll show up on-demand).

Any helicopter can do a loop or inverted manoeuvre IF you can maintain +1G throughout. Semi rigid rotor heads allow for large degree of flapping which under low g conditions can lead to mast bumping and carburetted engines will cut out. The H500 RFM states that aerobatic manoeuvres are prohibited. You can loop a 500 and most people are aware or have seen this. The blades on a 500 are joined together with 'packing straps' thin steel strips going from blade to blade. During high or excessivly low g flight, these can break.
