"Lastly, the second report suggests that he can only just keep up with his leader using all boost enhancements available in his MkII. What is blue leader flying if Blue 2 is writing "performance notes on the MkII" and suggesting he had to go all out to keep up? A MkI +12psi? This seems rather intriguing to me!"
I guess the lead was maxed out as well. The convention is the lead would in normal circumstances give the wingman a "bit to play with" by setting a slightly reduced power setting. In a combat tail chase I guess the formation protocols were overlooked.
"Pressing the Tit" is a pretty common (for 40's and 50's" bit of Brit slang for pushing or pressing any button or catch.
