D - would that be the "Wake Turbulence" hawk where the guys hit wake turbulence short finals, uncommanded roll and the front seater (iirc) pulled the handle, pinged along the ground and got away with it, whilst the back seater stayed in the jet as it scraped along the ground inverted and had his bonedome scraped away by the ground but also got away with it? Subsequently rescued by lifting the jet with a crane and having a couple of brave firemen get inside and get him out? (bravery mentioned due to the unknown state of the seat/mdc etc) Well worth a read, that accident report.
