I know the one you mean, there is a short trail immediately after he comes over the top of the loop.

There is a vapour trail from the jet pipe area at a couple of points during the flight (e.g. at about 4 seconds in this compilation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr4POEBz81s)

From memory, does the Hunter not have a fuel vent pipe in that genreal area?
The vid clearly shows vapour streaming from the fuselage/jetpipe area in two separate occasions at the start of that recording. This is NOT the trail that was commented upon in the report and, IMO, is an important event that should be addressed.
