Splitbrain, not necessarily wrong, it may unfortunately have been another crash.

In the one involving Major Chuck Rosberg at Dunsfold, which I do know Sky / Discovery etc got hold of somehow, he hit the ground, not any trees.

The late Neville Duke lived in a house actually on the airfield ( mentioned in N.Duke's 'Test Pilot' book ) - he & his wife rushed over & did what they could, and went with him in the ambulance, but he didn't make it.

Amazingly I did know a chap at the design office whose brother ejected out of a rolling Hawk, skidded along the ground and got away with it, albeit badly injured - a matter of a few degrees, obviously.
