Hawker Hunter Manual Reversion

Hi All

During one of my flights on the Hawker Hunter I had a manual reversion of the controls. One of the two switches in front console just tripped off. This was due to a momentary drop in hydraulic pressure, luckily, i was flying loose formation.

However there have been such failures known before as displayed here ASN Aircraft accident 05-DEC-1955 Hawker Hunter F.Mk.5 WP118

I was wondering how and when this could be linked up to this accident. If anyone else has had such an incident please do post your experience.
