I was going to say it looked like a 'classic' rapid low-speed MB separation with no sign of a 'canopy shield' etc, so it being PAF makes sense. I still stand by the 'handle happy' comment there, especiallly since:

a/c the right way up
engine seems to be doing something
?0/0 seat?

Given that you really need 'to be there', but I like to think that I and my 'mates' would have waited a moment or two longer. It only just missed the complex, and that was definitley luck and no judgement.

PS Worf - we had a ?Bala Naidoo? (excuse spelling) on exchange on the RAF Gnat - is he still around?
