............about ten seconds from touch down the aircraft pitched nose up out of control* and the pilot ejected only 150ft from the ground. If the Lightning therefore climbed before its near vertical dive, it would explain why the pilot is lower than the aircraft at the time the photograph was taken.
If all this happened - why is the drogue chute where it is?
