Hunter hydraulics and breaks and tight circuits ......

Why would anyone do a run & break in a Hunter and select gear and flaps together during the first portion of the turn?

A real fighter pilot would not do that. He would pull hard in the break to kill speed, at the same time enjoying a looks good, feels good factor. As the 'g' comes off he would lower flaps, gear, flaps in quick succession. If the circuit is so tight that it is essentially a tight circle then utilities would be carefully selected as each speed limit was reached.
