A good few of us thought he was going to have to leave the aeroplane. Given the proximity of it to the chalet I had already decided that running was not going to help...
I wondered if pulling through earlier crossed his mind, although that would have put him through the crowd line, albeit at a greater recovery height.
After years of wizzing about at high speed / low level, getting monstered on the ground would have been a little too ironic for Mrs JTO. Still, that kind of alpha is not exactly an option on the Tornado.
