Do you mean exactly what you said in your last post?

The ditching part I wholeheartedly agree with. Not an option.

Forced landings are practiced extensively and perfectly possible on prepared surfaces.

I believe in the case of this Tutor there was no suitable prepared surface within gliding range.

If it was an engine failure, ejection was the only option.
