The Zurabatic Cartwheel
Legend has it that Meteor pilots would prove their skill on the type by attempting the famous aerobatic manoeuvre created by Janusz Zurakowski. Do we have anyone who actually tried it ?
"Start with a vertical climb to 4,000 ft by which point the Meteor has slowed to around 80 mph. Cut the power of one engine causing the aircraft to pivot. When the nose is pointing downwards, throttle the second engine back and the aircraft will continue to rotate through a further 360 degrees on momentum alone having lost nearly all vertical velocity. Carrying out the cartwheel and recovering from it without entering an inverted spin (which the Meteor could not be brought out of) requires great skill."
Oh for a video of that.
