Ejection

Was the chute FULLY inflated at the point of touchdown, looks to me like it was not quite full. As he had some airspeed at ejection this does not seem to bode well for a 0/0 ejection. Just curious!


Any news on the Scampton involuntary ejection ?

( MB. Ejectee no.447, Mk 4 seat, face blind hid any sight of pitch down but I do remember the tumbling before drogue chute deployment and the bloody sharp stop after the main chute deployed about a minute later!!)
