I wondered about that, but its g limit was very low (3g?) – confirmed by the

And it looked risky enough doing a wingover (Chandelle?). But my concern over
low level barrel rolls stands, especially with large non-aero aircraft. And my
opinion was shared by the authorities at the time (see the same article, search
for barrel).
