Scimitar emergency canopy release ?
I was sent a link with you tube clips of carrier op's which included one of an incident to a Scimitar that ran off the end of the deck in 1958 - I won't post the link here because it's too horrible to see & only learn at the end of the clip the pilot didn't escape :-( Anyone know how the canopy release worked on the Scimitar as there didn't appear to be an emergency release uless it jammed ?
I seem to remember there was a similar incident to a USN jet where the pilot ejected underwater ok?
