H Peacock, thank you. Biscuit74, Yes, it does.

Getting back to the possibility of confusion between types (Hunter and Jet Provost), would 112 kt be an appropriate take-off speed for the Jet Provost? Could the pilot's mindset have been that he was flying a JP display even at this point?


If he didn't know what type of aircraft he was in he is not fit to fly never mind display. I remember from my JP and Hunter days that to get a straight pull up for a loop it was always best to pull up on the AI. Especially with the Hunter with the swept wings. I am at a total loss to explain this accident and until/unless AH comes out with more information even the AAIB is speculating to a degree.
