We had one of the last Typhoon pilots on 33 Squadron in the early 70s. He would describe the getaway from a rocket attack as having the throttle wide open and feet OFF the rudder. The German gunners would set their offset in front of the aircraft but the torque would throw in so much skid that the shells would pass by a wingtip.
