Wasn't the FIRST Tornado loss @ Manching where the aircraft looped too low?

I remember this because, as part of the transfer from 1940's tech to 1970's tech, the RAF ground school, as part of their flight safety induction for us played the CVR of the crew after they realised it was endex, all the way down. A shocking thing for young Erks to listen to, very upsetting if I'm honest, BUT it rammed the flight safety message home and molded the techs attitudes.
