Ejecting
Does anyone remember the details about a Lightning crash back in the 60s, I think.
I can remember the photo in a newspaper of the aircraft mostly intact on the ground.
The news story went like this - pilot tried to eject but system did not work. Therefore he tried to land it. When ac hit the ground the ejector seat operated and the pilot was killed going through the canopy.
Does anyone remember this incident and know the details?
