Good grief!

Sailor, I have no doubt that what you say about looping a naval single seat Hunter is quite correct. I am equally positive that no RAF supervisor would have authorised you to do that! You need to be spot on every time, and 200' is very little margin for error when pulling out of the vertical at optimum alpha. But you survived ...
Onceapilot - a Mk11 Hunter is powered by a much more powerful Avon than the T7.
