Jayteeto,

I accept most of what you say. I was just showing that one of the Sqn Ldr Burke theories did fit the available facts. I am sure there are other theories that do also.
Look again at the RACAL / Cable figures. To make them both correct, there had to be a a 25 to 30 increase in IAS in the very late stages of flight.
Starting at 120 - 125 IAS, 250 ft MSD and just pushing the stick forward, how much speed do you think you could gain before impact? Not a lot.
If RACAL and Cable are both correct, some of the speed increase must come from increased power, deliberate or otherwise.
