Fisherman nets jet crash ejector seat
A fisherman has landed the ejector seat from a jet which crashed at Lowestoft airshow.
Jeffery Melton found the last part of the Harrier - the rest had been salvaged by air force experts and taken back to RAF Wittering last week.
Mr Melton netted it while trawling for shrimp. The seat enabled pilot Flt Lt Tony Cann to escape without serious injury.
The 70kg seat was intact and even housed a crab, which had settled in the parachute holder.
Accident investigators are still trying to work out what caused the £15 million jump jet to plunge into the sea in front of more than 200,000 spectators.
Mr Melton told the East Anglia Daily Times: "I started to hear a knock and I knew there was something there."
He brought it back to shore where it was collected by the RAF.
