I must ask him who was quicker on the draw from the Jag, Clive or Colin!
My understanding from several conversations with Clive on the topic of that accident is that his memory of the accident is pretty much nil between briefing and recovering (in hospital).

If memory serves however, if both pulled together, there was an inbuilt 1/3rd second time delay between the two seats to stop them leaving absolutely together. Rear seat first I *think*.
