This happened in Oman, reason, bought cheaper 500kg bombs for practice.remember the incident quite well, our jockeys couldn't belive he managed to get out alive, If I remember rightly his wife was on a visit at the same time. Burns due to Oxy mask detatching on ejection and the explosion.....
Omani Jaguar ejection on 26 Feb 1979, the pilot's surname was Lee, first name was Rick. I know this as he was flying Mirages at RAAF Williamtown in 1982, having transferred from the RAF to the RAAF. I was an RAAF officer at the time. He discussed his ejection with me at the time, & there was an illustrated popular magazine in the 2 OCU crewroom, featuring an illustrated article on his miraculous survival. A bomb exploded under his aircraft just after release, totally destroying the aircraft & detaching the forward fuselage from the rest of the airborne wreckage. He ejected from that.
