I seem to remember speculation at the time of the Woodford Spitfire incident that the engine power was reduced due to the high ambient temperature and that the pilot may have failed to adequately allow for this.

Given that both incidents involved failure to recover from a manoevre that appeared to have been entered unusually slowly, and considering the weather on saturday, this may be significant.
