On the subject of inadvertent ejections...I seem to remember a Tornado GR1 in the mid-late 80s (reasonably shiny in those days) flying around Germany (I think). It was early days in the assessment of the real effects of HIRTAs on the flight control software. The Nav was heads-in looking at the radar (no surprises there) when the pilot saw an A-10 Thunderbolt in rather close proximity. He immediately manoeuvered violently to avoid the said 'Hog' and issued a loud expletive...the Nav immediately thought that they had had an uncommanded flying control input caused by the close proximity of a HIRTA and banged them both out....ouch!!
Anyone remember the full details?
