Distant Voice
You are wrong. The occupant in the rear seat is unlikely to be injured by the front seat rocket motor firing because there is a blast screen between the cockpits in a Hawk T1 and the rear canopy would remain intact until the rear seat firing handle was pulled.
In Sean Cunningham’s accident the RAFAT engineers were outside the aircraft and therefore not protected to the same extent as the occupant of the rear cockpit would be. And your ‘scorching’ comments are distasteful.
