The Hunter crash looked like an accelerated stall in one of the videos. The PAF Viper was far more faster and did not have energy to pull up. Trim settings may have helped, yet it happened very fast.As i said the impact threw him clear, in the images below you can see the canopy open and the pilot being led to safety by some of the spectators.
More than that the descent speed was very high....leading to speculation if something had malfunction while executing the loop.
On a sidenote, seeing his son in a funeral and cleaning out the desk & locker of the deceased pilot is one of the hardest times one would fathom.
I think this was a Typhoon test pilot who G-LOCed.As i said the impact threw him clear, in the images below you can see the canopy open and the pilot being led to safety by some of the spectators.

Here's another classical example of an Italian Typhoon failing to come out of its loop, ostensibly the pilot has his afterburners engaged during the decent.
