Interesting report , dont think it just applies to an ex-military a/c . What was documented meant it wasnt airworthy whatever type it was. And thats just the documentary evidence , could have been the best maintained jet in the world but the paperwork shows the mindset which is scary whatever the type. Recall doing the blow-off checks using compressed air/nitrogen on the canopy release on the lightning and the hunter. Being guided by guys with years of experience on both types . But did any of these guys have relevant experience , those of us that have worked these types know that the manuals are just a basic description , without the amount of info provided on more modern types. These older types are a minefield to operate without the relevant experience , which is hard to locate these days.
