I think you have misunderstood the gesture. Clearly the pilot had been a boy scout , and was trying to assess the local wind strength

Ummm I'm currently doing a lot of flying in a Wilga these days. Not sure if we could get away with that over the A30 or A38!!
Here's a photo of me 'arriving' at Watchford Farm, near Honiton last month.
