Squawk7700, thanks for your patience and explanation. I'm happy to have my lack of knowledge/understanding exposed and discussed, if it means only one pilot is saved from making a fatal error anytime in the future. We all learn by discussion and demonstration, and one should never stop learning.
What is of concern, of course, is that Peter Lynch was a supposedly fully qualified and experienced pilot - yet he managed to stoof his aircraft in, with what appears to be a very basic flying error.
I'm hazarding a guess that he didn't have low-level flying training and qualifications? - which, if true, leads to a lot more questions, as to why he was allowed to fly into the Skyworks display?
