though stalling normally did lead to spinning that may or may not have been recoverable, a deep stall like Lawrence's one apparently simply made the aircraft plummet vertically?
Javelin Pilot's Notes gave us a minimum IAS limitation of 150 knots "except on final approach " and prohibited aerobatics in the looping plane; intentional stalls were also banned and, since there was apparently no way to recover from the stalled condition, the Notes' recommended procedure in event of an unintentional stall was to induce a spin from which a recovery might be achieved by use of aileron, the rudder and tailplane being sufficiently blanked by the wings as to be ineffective.
