Would the crew upstairs have pushed the canopy clear? The way my dad explained to me (aged about 10!) how the canopy jettisoned was that the jettison jacks were only to lift the forward edge into the slipstream. The slipstream then lifted it upwards and rearwards until it detached and fell away. That seems to fit the diagram in the AP as well.
