Hi Beags, I was on Q the night the Bucc "landed short" ( if I remember it correctly I was dining in the Mess at the time - you'll no doubt recall the quaint arrangement of storno and landrover). If I remember events correctly the SMO ripped the sump out of his service Mini going "off road" at high speed to the crash site.
BTW, can you eject from the Hawk with the canopy open? I would have thought the (hinged ) canopy frame would have fouled the seat. I certainly remember that Hawk landing in the midst of whatever exercise it was with a pole sticking out of the rear seat space and minus one Fighter Controller.
