Very good explanation Matty, although there is one very critical error.
>Force of Lift (due to flow of air over wings, proportional
>to forwards velocity of aircraft and always in the 'up
>vector' relative to the aircraft)
should be:
Force of Lift (due to flow of air over wings, proportional
to forwards velocity of aircraft and always in the 'up
vector' perpendicular to the direction of movement)
