Treble One, was it not a Tornado over the German plains, they had previously warned crews of uncommanded departure after one had flown near a mast, the German one if I remember correctly, was at low level when the pilot saw an A-10? In front of them and pulled hard to avoid it without time to alert the backseater who had been distracted, and thinking it was an uncommanded departure, ejected, unfortunately the seat was set to command so the pilot left too.

Not German, but it was an RAF Tornado, ZA603 in the mid-80s.
