I am looking forward to reading this with some trepidation. I suspect it will be a solitary activity that will resurface many memories.
It was some 20 years after my ejection that I realised how profoundly my ejection had affected me. Another life changing event was the catalyst for some deep reflection and during that period I realised that beyond the great stories and bluff and bravado, much changed fundamentally on that fateful day when I stepped over the side.
I am forever grateful to Martin Baker, to the guys who built and serviced my seat and of course to long range SAR who came and fished me out of the freezing water after many hours.
