Rather off topic, but to continue about parachuteless jumps ...

Not over the sea, but air gunner Les Bigwood jumped out of a crippled Lancaster at 90 feet and survived until his demise in old age in 2009. I have him on a short video of that sortie telling the story in his uniquely understated style.
