Toss Recovery Manoeuvre

Captain Radar

From memory (not always exactly accurate these days) the "4G pull" did not continue after weapon release but was relaxed and a rather rapid roll to 120+ degrees was initiated. The 4G pull was then re-established until the nose reached the horizon. Bank angle was then reduced to 90 degrees until 10+ degrees nose down when it was further reduced to 70 degrees. This was then maintained until the roll out heading (release heading +/-150?) was achieve when the bank was rolled off and the descent to an appropriate height continued.

This was a much more efficient method of getting back to an operational height than continuing "over the top" would have been.
