Technique was to pull to the vertical and then, at about 120kt, full forward stick and full rudder. The aeroplane departs smartly, rolling in the direction of the applied rudder.. Recovery was interesting as you have to put recovery rudder on in the direction of the perceived roll.
Don’t think it would be a good idea for modern JP owners to try.
I seem to recall a past winner of the Wright Jubilee Trophy doing something similar in his winning sequence that he went on to display that year in a Mk5a.
