The seriously injured Vampire pilot was not a neophyte. Formerly he had been a BANSHEE/Tracker pilot in the RCN off HMCS Bonaventure so he was not going to be fooled by any artificial horizon precession. However he did not fly all that much so he did not have an instrument rating - the reason he ended up in such dire circumstances. It really was his last flight before retirement. 3 page PDF attached is about this crash - thunderstorm microburst info not included.
