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

The fleet of 128 Hawk aircraft

Quote:

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.
