BOAC,
Stumpy Stoner now flies (as I do) with FRADU on the Hawk at Culdrose
JimGriff,
You wanted detail on ejections. I've watched 3 (4 if you count my own). Two were fatal unfortunately, as they were outside seat limits (Stu Pearse from a Gnat at Valley and Frank Whitehouse from the Lightning over-rotation at Tengah) but Gordon Moulds' ejection from a Phantom was, thankfully, succecssful.
My own was from a Hunter F6, XF443, on 3 Aug 67 on my third night solo on type from Chivenor. The engine seized and I reached High Key in the Chivenor overhead only to go straight into cloud. Knowing that I was the proverbial brick (rate of descent in excess of 2500'/min) I turned a little tighter hoping to come out at or around low key but eventually found myself through the RW centreline and poorly placed! The ejection was v late (approx 300ft) and I landed in trees. Undeneath the next tree was an Army cook and his girlfriend enjoying themselves and he literally ran up to me pulling his trousers up! Thankfully I did myself no damage and was flying again 5 days later.
