A4G Slow Motion Catapult Film - HMAS Melbourne - New Strop Catcher

For that one other A-4 person earlier.... Here is the Slo Mo Fillum of A4G catapults with the new Stroppy Catcher c.1971. I hope we can see some relevant slomo for the F-35Cs - an arrest perchance? We see slo mo arrests of 886 - lost overboard later during a storm. The brakeman had a miraculous escape to be picked up by nearby destroyer with minor injuries. 889 was lost earlier - during the first cold catapult with the pilot staying with the aircraft for various reasons - to then stay inside the cockpit (with water pressure equalisation working as designed - because he was able to jettison the canopy before going off the deep end - while he breathed emergency oxygen) and after the propellers passed by, to escape to the surface with inflated Mae West to be picked up by Pedro SAR Helo - OK.
