hawker hunter at Shorman

looking at the ambients of the day.
+30c and high humidity
the density levels may well have been a major cause of what happened.
performing actions in the cockpit by numbers like from the top of climb drop the nose count 12345... operate the controls to start the pull out and NOTHING!
airplane continues to sink towards the ground in a FLAT attitude... only seconds to impact with no response from controls. enters into the ground effect and ****
I lost two friends due to similar degraded density levels on a hot humid day at an air show in the Med'
