All 5 got out of a Vulcan in the Coningsby area in the mid to late 70s - 101 sqn crew I think. A fire in the AAPP (APU) took hold and a controlled abandonment was carried out. The AEO exited cleanly but the Nav Radar got snagged and the plotter stayed to untangle him and send him out before going himself. Never understood why he didn't get a medal. All the rear crew were injured in some way but all survived. The Captain's first action on arrival at hospital was to shave as he had an illegal beard!
