Hi Gareth,

There were two horizontal ejections between 71 and 75 at Wildenwrath. Both at ground level. One into woods, the other along the runway.

There was another at height involving a 4 Squadron aircraft. Flap drive shaft sheared, uncontrollable roll, ejected, koch (sp?) fastener not connected to chute. Successful ejection but chute did not open.
