Thanks for your update. It was with some relief that after the a/c hit the ground we saw the red and white chute open and pilot float to earth..., we just headed straight for where we saw the chute fall. Glad that he was OK. Spent much of the week-end organizing FOD sweep and flag marking the many bits of perspex from the canopy that was spread across the airfield.

Shortly before this I had witnessed a Lightning hit the deck on finals at Leuchars - pilot also ejected safely..., unfortunately there were two civilian causalities who were hit by flying debris.
