Ordered your book John.
I ejected from a JP IN 1963, ( Dual, my QFI ordered me to eject, I did not hesitate ! ) things didnt go exactly to plan but I survived, just !
60 years ago on April 18 the, JP4 XP 635,
Terribly sad situation.I was flying the Canberra from BK on the day of the accident, exercise Black Eagle,IIR correctly, dont know if he was wearing an immersion suit, but without it, and no dinghy, little chance of survival.
