He didn't eject - seat failed due to engineering malfunction. Photo clearly shows top handle, etc. He unstrapped and 'climbed' out but didn't take PSP (dinghy, etc). Sea pressure closed canopy over time. Even in Summer you wouldn't last long in N Sea without decent protective kit, and it's not that unusual for bodies never to be recovered.
