Thanks for providing the link. The brief report has answered another couple of questions that were in my head particularly why nobody ejected. It's sad that the Captain saw things happening and possibly left it too late or was outside of parameters.
I remember sitting in the back seats of a Victor and being told that those ejectors were a twist and push type to exit out of the port door. It never appealed to me as a survival aid as there was still the wing, engine intakes and the large T-tail to contend with.
I'm sure that Beagle will remind us of the escape issues with the VC10 K3 which is why the port side door was welded up.
