Sorry to dwell on this all, but I have to put the record straight
(pending the results of the Board of Enquiry). According to a
colleague of mine, who was part of the team checking the display, the
aircraft was slow on its entry to a Barrel Roll, did not make its
height gate and tried to recover early. It g-stalled on recovery and
did not arrest the descent.

to happen.
I shuddered when I saw the video of the crash. Must have been
horrid to witness it happening and KNOWING that they weren't
going to make it. It looked like it never came out of the
stall.
