There was also an incident in a Bulldog where the aircraft could not be recovered from a spin during a dual sortie. The QFI ordered the student to bail out (JUMP, JUMP, JUMP) but the latter opened the (slide back) canopy in the normal way, rather than using the canopy jettison lever. He then jumped out. The aircraft then came out of the spin. The QFI flew it back and landed.
