That roll was very poorly executed, particularly at low level, the nose was allowed to drop significantly when approaching and when inverted. Regardless of camera angles and comparative heights etc., it was very badly flown.

The JP needed quite a push when inverted due to its wing section, which was far from symmetrical.

Dramatic? Damned close to disastrous.

( former A2 standards QFI on type)
