Treadigraph - the parachuting Cessna incident happened at Ahsbourne, Derbyshire. I have a book at home (into the silk??) which shows a poor quality photo of the whole lot coming down - the Cessna nose-first and vertical, with the chute streaming behind. I expect it came down quite quickly!
Another, much more dramatic, photo in the book is the Lighning on short final to Hatfield. It is about 100 feet in the air, pointing verytically down, with the pilot (Jimmy Dell?) having ejected (he landed in a greenhouse and survived with minor injuries). In the forground of the picture is a trcator, with the driver looking back in amazement at the about-to-impact Lighning.
It had been out over East Anglia for some photos of a DH missile on the wings (IIRC) and got a fire in the rear fuselage. It almost made it back to Hatfield before the elevator controls failed and the pilot ejected on short final.
