The description of the ZA141 incident came from those who were flying the aircraft in the service at the time. Of course it may have become over-embellished by numerous crewroom and classroom re-tellings; no doubt this version also contains touch of antipathy towards BAe and feelings of schadenfraude towards the "higher-beings" of the test pilot world. On the other hand, Brian Trubshaw's account, written with the bias of the project manager, may have been slightly modified to spare the blushes of his colleagues. It is all water-under-the-bridg, happily no one was hurt and the jet went on to give nearly 20 years more service.
Dan,
Of course there is slightly less TPI use if one holds the out-of-trim force when in-contact whilst quickly getting ones's 10 strikes. But an AARI would never do that would he?.....
