Am I misremembering, or were there a couple of occasions the RHWR antenna departed the top of the fin due to shimmy during high AOA excursions in the F3?
(Going back, IIRC the original rounded fin on the Lightning F1 and F2 was replaced by the larger clipped on the F3/5/6 due to high speed shimmy which resulted in at least one tail breaking off the aircraft, and the 650kt speed limit?)
