Bournemouth Ejection

Re the Bournemouth ejection, it was indeed P**e H*******s who jumped out. The pilot was D**e H****y of Tremblers. It was supposed to be me in the back that day, but I picked up a late notice weekend away to Ramstein and P**e very kindly filled my place. It caused my then fiancée some consternation when she arrived back in the UK on the Monday from a trip aboard to discover the navigator from a Tremblers jet had ejected. She knew I was supposed to be in that jet and I hadn't been able to tell her I was in Germany instead (this was well before Internet and social media). D**e torched the 'Welcome to Bournemouth' banner as he took off across the grass. It was indeed due to the notoriously fickle NWS on the FG1.
