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?
The JP take-off was quite a bit slower than the Hunter. For the JPMk3 the nose was raised at 75kts before the aircraft was flown off at 85kts, or 80kts if the Tips were empty. For the JPMk5A the nosewheel was raised at 85kts before the aircraft was flown off at 95kts.
