update on this..
Tried replicating. I cant replicate at the speed listed in the official report of 185kn. I tried in full A/F and 100% throttle, and rolling into a split s I was still carrying a 1000ft even at 160kn. I tried rolling out in full a/b and no throttle. Made no difference. I tried at 135kn also no difference. multiple times I was able to wash out well before hitting the ground. Saying that I will give it another crack but rolling inverted at about 2000ft will guarantee a max of 3000ft before diving and at 200kn I should be able to pull up before 200ft ideally.
saying that though at flat level flight rolling into a dive at any speed at 3000ft was a clear hit the deck scenario every time. Roughly 3sec by rolling to the ground.
oh and I did save files though they aren't video footage so will have to work out a way to convert or just screen capture
