Basically, Mr Hill commenced a looping manoeuvre at too low an altitude to complete it safely.
We all know that. The problem is nothing to do with ejector seats - it's to do with airline pilots turning up at air shows expecting skills that they once had - and practiced regularly (weekly in the season) to still be there.

Not quite true...... I have a friend who was displaying a current mil FJ at a very prominent UK airshow a few years ago - over the top of a looping manoeuver he had just the right amount of gate height (as per his display design) but a significant excess of speed. End result was he nearly spread himself very publicly across the runway at the bottom.
You have to have the correct amount of energy, both potential & kinetic.

Agree.
But no one so far I know on the various threads have commented on what the correct ranges of potential and kinetic energies should be for a hunter....or in more usual terms: what are the numbers for the gate at the top of 1/4 clover?
From the information published by the AAIB, was the gate made?
