Hi cheesehawk:

Engine cut-out was definately a problem; when they suddenly pushed the stick down then the engine would starve of petrol and thus almost cut out; it became evident in this interview at t 6;30 sec:



Myth not busted!

Thanks for that, I look forward to Mr Finney's reply.

About the negative G cutout, in this film starting at about 24:00 Douglas Bader, Robert Stanford-Tuck and Sir Stanley Hooker explain about the pitfalls of the gravity fed carburettor and why it is was used instead of a direct fuel injection system such as those found on the 109.

If you're outside of Britain, you might not be able to view the film...sorry.
