Having checked the MB website, and the sequence of events following initiation of an ejection, It seems strange that Flt Lt Egging was found with his chute, yet the seat apparently was still in the plane / cockpit wreckage?
I seem to recall many years ago a Harrier(?) flying unmanned over the irish sea, apparently due to inadvertant firing of the drogue on the seat.
