Question GOOGLE IT!

No idea why some planespotters can't use Goggle to see if a Hunter can carry a drop tank (It can carry 2, but as any half blind mini pad user can see, the Shurecrash one did not have them).
Wiki might have the drivers manual with pages for the Hunter and flat Limo.

Looks like too low an entry and a high speed stall. The nose up attitude at impact was at least 10 and the descent angle was at least another 10 deg down, so I think it was well into a high speed stall when the canopy fired off at about 50ft.

Not sure on the instrumentation of this Hunter, BUT most fighter jets should have an AoA meter with an audio alarm and easyread gauge fitted (Often next to the Jesus meter).
So what I don't understand is why the driver did not pull the lower handle when the audio alarm went off, unless he was concerned with where to dump it.

PS: I wonder what the CAA will say about this one ??
