Tornado Rear Crew Command Ejection

28 October 1983:

Harrier on Holbeach Range
Tornado in N Sea - Navigator cmd ejected both crewmembers at LL after nothing heard from plt and ac descending (below 250 ft and going down) and rolling slightly. Navigator survived and although plt seen to leave ac body was never found.

The Harrier incident at almost the same time caused some initial SAR confusion as overdue action was taken on the Tornado.
