I seem to recall reading in 'Air Clues' (many moons ago, in fact it was etched on a slate methinks), an account of an incident involving a Canberra which developed an Aileron restriction in flight, following an application of bank at low level.

The aircraft was continually rolling, but by a skillful combination of pushing/pulling, the pilot was able to initiate a climb to an altitude sufficient for abandonment - I think at least one crew member had to hop out of the door with his 'chute when the green/blue orientation was at its' optimum. Anybody else recall?
