Bigrat your partly right yes the tail section did have a tendency to come off the cause of this was due mainly to " harmonic vibration"

Only a small number were lost that way before modifications were done.  The fish plates around the rear fuselage you see on all the Typhoon skins stopped it by way of brute strengthening rather than fixing the root cause, but it did stop it.

Yes, I imagined so, but it was a funny thought.

I understand that the Bf109F suffered a similar problem during development.
