I got involved in ejection three times.

Once, I did the Ejection Seat rig at RAF North Luffenham. Suffered lots of discomfort in my back and lower legs, probably a good cause of DVT!

Once, got as far as getting out FRCs in an iced-up jet at night to go through the pre-ejection drills. Fortunately we cleared icing conditions and did a straight in approach and got away with it.

Once, got ejected from a nightclub in York.
