Slightly different spin, but a thought occurs.

This was a pax ejection; I can recall (at least) two others, because they involved mates in one seat or the other.

Lightning T bird at Gut in late 70s (??) with a Harrier mate as pax. Both OK.

Harrier T bird (also Gut I think) - late 80s early 90s (???) army pilot pax in back seat gets out - front seater doesn't.

And this F3 makes (at least) three in less than 30 years.

Seems to be a high proportion of ejections involving pax, considering the (relatively) small proportion of pax rides.

Any comments from statisticians and/or jimgriff ??

And I'd better add that I am in no way implying a causal relationship, just noting what may be a statistical oddity.
