Wasn't it John Towl? Again, I was there at the time. Student pilot aborted from low level in poor weather, got the recovery wrong leaving the burners in and became disoriented. John ejected them but was outside seat limits.
Perhaps it's only RAF jets on the poster.
Could well have been, it was a long time ago! IIRC he was known as Bernie around the Groundschool when he was an Instructor and was on his Conversion Course on A Sqn.
