Merlin negative G cutout too quick?

I think the RAF\Supermarine ran negative G tests sometime pre-war at Martlesham Heath or Boscombe down. I truly believe the answers lay there in those records.

I still believe that better than papers and talk it's the real deal that solves any doubt. Even papers, made by men, could have been "retouched" in favour of this or that person/situation etc.. (think of aerial victories reports..),whilst first hand experience does hardly lie at all..

Having said this, it'd be interesting to read these records.
