Is anyone aware of good video demo of ground to air emergency signalling?

I've read the section in Ultimate Navigation Manual and have the emergency calling procedure card.  I'd like to try to teach these to my Scouts, and would be really great if there were one of Lyle's YouTube videos demonstrating the actions (kids react better to video than paper I find - and sure I can demo, but somehow that screen thing captivates them better than I do ;-).  I've not found such a video - but thought I'd ask.

Thanks

Ground to air signalling videos: 711 000 Google Results. Those on the first page are the most viewed or referred to. My advice: find five or so that, together, cover it well.

Afraid not Duncan, I intend to film some when I am next up with a RAF  crew - will keep you posted:) An alternative for your troop and a teaching method I frequently use is to split the class into pairs and get them to teach each other the signals - by guessing them from a distance - and summarise their learning having them all watch an instructor (you) and have a winner for the highest score. For added fun with the end test I throw in a few made up gestures;)

One problem I found (using Google) when reviewing Lyle's book is that there appear to be a number of different standards for ground-to-air signalling, depending on the use context.

The RAF have published a booklet Working With Search & Rescue Helicopters, but the only two hand signals I can find in it are arms overhead in static 'Y' (I need assistance/pick me up') and arms overhead crossing and uncrossing ('wave-off').

Anything else is probably best left to professionals, and general advice is "don't signal or wave to any aircraft unless you need assistance".  The single arm aloft ('all okay') might be used if the aircraft is obviously checking you out.

That's my 'common sense' view, and would welcome correction from SAR types.

What sort of ground air marker? A signal panel.
