BOAC, Thanks.
I can think of someone I knew who had ' his windscreen full of green & brown bits ' and didn't make it; whether he was in a high speed stall is a moot point, the fact is he did the classic loop too low mistake - the aircraft impacted with a high sink rate, 27 degrees nose up.
He was a very good Test Pilot - he couldn't have let off the G, as speed & height were already critical, and I suspect pulling the handle and binning a one-off aircraft was unthinkable to him.
The sad thing is, another prototype was made fairly quickly; not the pilot though.
As for departure, I was thinking of separation of the airflow from the wing, so I imagine we're sort of talking the same language - full departure being mayhem.
