Cool Dump and Burn

Thanks ShyTorque - a controlled burn then. Does the flame 'blow out' as the aircraft accelerates or only when the fuel flow is cut?
The flame doesn't "blow out", but the shape of the flame is speed dependant (the Torch is fatter at low speed and elongates as speed increases).

When we were at RIAT for the RAF's 75th birthday, I had a Frecce driver ask me if we used it as an IR missile countermeasure
