Now that 'TBM-LegEnd' has mentioned the CO here is a
video of still photos - view from the 'goofers' platform fwd - series was taken by Rick Mechan RAN with an Instamatic camera - showing the loss of A4G 875 with CO VF-805 LCDR Clive Blennerhassett ejecting successfully due to engine failure immediately/during a normal catapult from HMAS Melbourne.
And thank goodness the Escapac saved all those who used it in dire circumstances, despite any other misgivings. There is one ex-A4G chap who has done SHAR & TA4G who may be able to comment on the violence of both ejection experiences?
