I have come to the same conclusion.

My comments, from a distance of 33 years from a Hunter cockpit, were based on what appeared to happen in the video, the use of flap and the possibility of it reducing elevator authority at higher speeds. My memory was slightly defective as others pointed out. I also wrote about G-LOC and medical fitness.

There are others out there with much more recent experience on Hunters, including former Hunter display pilots. I'll leave it to the AAIB.
