That is a very sweeping statement who’s experience are we on about I have met loads of ‘experienced pilots’ some of them are sadly no longer with us.

Anyway to answer your question Reg flew the airtest in Black6 and on his takeoff run the aircraft sank into freshly laid turf covering a recently dug/ filled trench the aircraft prop hit the ground and then he got airbourne. Reg didn’t even know this had happened untill after the flight.
He didn’t fly her again because he was very ill. John Allison flew her from Benson to Duxford not because the grass strip was better, it was because it was decided by MOD that Duxford was the place she was to operate from.

Just watched the video clip, and having worked on a Bf109 for the best part of 20yrs and seeing that one crash. I believe that was a very lucky escape!!!!!!
