If anyone can prove otherwise I'd like to see it.
I also just read an account where a RAF pilot deliberately nosed down to produce a cloud of black smoke to fake being hit when he was bounced.

Yes but it is happening intermittently in level flight give or take a little turbulence/undulation. I'm sure that never happened. The pilots reported the problem when they positively nosed over to dive. It's mentioned in many of their bios but no mention of problems in normal flight or even during normal descent but it is happening on CoD. I doubt it would have been cleared if that was the case.
