Alfie c, I bet your post #1 was a bundle of laughs too. You are free to contribute the same as anyone else but if pprune doesnt rock your boat remember it isnt compulsory.\

Meanwhile... someone just beat me to it with the inevitable comment about the importance of posture when ejecting. True the more modern seat dont have such a big punch as the old telescopic riails we had on Canberras and similar, but it does have to big powerful enough to clear the fin. Navs always used to be told that having the seat motored right the way to the top so that the top of your bone done was virtually touching the canopy was bad. In other words, if time allowed, there were a few things you could do to minimise the risk of injusry on ejection.

Sqn markings are not necessarily an indication of who was flying the jet these days, especially at Marham where the sqns are paired up.

Best wishes to the 2 guys involved.
