Just seen the HUD tape on the web, what caused the sudden pitch up etc? Wake turbulence?

Just missed a 'horror' crash, because just missing a 'nice' crash would have been un-Topgunlike. I assume?

They haven't, and don't...
It's the Daily Fail getting it wrong again, or not letting the truth get in the way of fiction

Hawk jets have been used to train British pilots since 1976. The Hawk T2 version is powered by Rolls-Royce engines and has a top speed of 639mph. The fleet of 128 Hawk aircraft have LCD displays rather than conventional instrumentation and a Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) intended to prevent mid-air crashes.By MARK NICOL DEFENCE EDITOR FOR THE MAIL ON SUNDAY (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?s=&authornamef=Mark+Nicol+Defence+Editor+For+The+Mail+On+Sunday )
