Just to clarify a small misunderstandng in your display story Glad Rag:
The "vv" IS where the cab is going. That's why pilots use it as a reference. In very high AoA manoeuvres the VV sits at the bottom of the HUD flashing to inform the pilot that the real vector is out of the field of view and cannot be used. So, it's the LFD (and chord line) above the vv (or flight path) in the manoeuvre you describe.
Not that it really matters, as I don't believe the Hunter has that sort of set up.
