Watton 1966, Canberra practice assymetric (and heavy), and started to roll - AEO (Ken Topaz?) banged out way outside the parameters for the seat and landed on the airfield still in it. Very badly injured, but helicoptered to RAF Ely hospital and a year later walked out, but no more bang seats for him. They were prety good the Service hospitals - but that's another thread!
