UK F-35B Lost
Salute!
Holy smoley, batman!
I wanna see what the ejectee says about when deciding to get outta there. Looks like waited to clear the ramp, or couldn't tell if the motor was full power or a failed check speed.
Regardless, pretty hairy.
Gums sends...

Not sure if the fan needs to be in pieces already or just not turning fast enough/no lift would do to tick that box.
Presumably once the wheels are off the carrier the Low altitude box is also ticked . .

No, not really, I used to recommend candidates to read any broadsheet in preference to tabloids, tabloids in preference to social media. The candidates opinion was the most important, as long as the view could be backed up and justified, then the paper read made no difference.
That headline makes as much sense as the very early crash report that blamed "A lack of lift in the air" for an incompetent pilot. Though I am most certainly NOT suggesting pilot incompetence here; more like journalistic incompetence.!

Quite so.
My wife rations me to one expletive when I read D Tel online each post-breakfast. It is never long in coming. The standard of journalism is appalling, and it appears that sub-editors and proof-readers no longer exist.
One expletive allowed, but loud. It usually involves gonads.
Back to basics, one imagines that a fair proportion of the fleet is condemned to loiter in the area, much as the blockade of the French coastal ports in Nelson's time.

I did like the i newspaper. Not a board sheet, but it told you the news in factual format. You read the Telegraph and it is so bias in editoral outlook to be corrupt. One can say the same about the Gaurdian (Not Rondot's favourite journal but it avoided Viz material being painted on his aircraft!) I miss a news paper that just tells me facts without fiction, especially Paul Darce / Boris levels (the Spectator is the worst lying rag on the planet). I know one facebook group on aircraft is fact as fiction is editorally removed if bull is mentioned.
The jet looked like it barely had enough thrust to roll up the ramp - you can see it slow slightly as it hit the incline.
Surely temperatures and pressures would be showing not enough power to commit to take off...

Video (now cropped) - one may see probably bits from ejection seat plopping on the centre-line of the ski jump. I guess/HOPE the pilot waited for QE to stop before releasing himself from 'hung up'? chute?

What pressure is ever mentioned to the pilot bar a civvy pilot on a Roller powered civvy type with EPR? N2/N1 RPM, Temp and Fuel Flow is the only info shown on any gauge / screen or other military/civvy types? All 3 of my ratings do not mention EPR at all (well the one jet doesn't). No military type I know mentions pressures.

They are distractions to the wind down. Secondary considerations. I do engine runs in work and pleasure. The gauges are main. You run a gas turbine recently? Warning and Caution lights would have been coming on as he banged out!
