Question Lightning Ejection.

The classic photograph of the Lightning ejection, everyone’s seen it, but is it real? I know the aircraft did crash as seen; I know the pilot ejected very low - but the photograph?

Put it on its side and does it look right? How come the pilot has apparently got ahead of the aircraft, which still had ‘approach’ power on. I’m seriously baffled. Any clues to make it really real.
