xraf - not trying to be pendantic, but Richard O'Sullivan didn't eject from his Harrier, he was so distracted by everything (late wake-up call, slow service in the mess so no breakfast, helmet going u/s) that he entered the runway without clearance forcing an F4 to overshoot.

What's really sad is that after all these years I can still remember it so clearly.....

More dross - can't remember the title, but an ITV series with a 40-something Nigel Havers playing a 20 year fighter pilot in the BoB who gets badly burnt - spiralling to earth in flames screaming 'What do I do, what do I do?' And no one's yet mentioned 'Strike Force' (I think that was the title), about a 'special' F3 sqn - ' Some people say we shouldn't exist. Bull****! That's us - NATO's police force!'
