Banging bang seats
I heard a hawk seat go off at RAE Bedford in about 82.
Pete had ejected v close to the ground
The sound was distinctive as abnormal and clearly an ejection but none of could say which part of the seat process we had heard
The gunfire and very short rocket burn are almost suncrinous
Often lay people make sense of what they have heard with words like bang, gun and rocket since their experience is limited
We should make due allowance for this in the witness comments describe above
