Waggon Rut,

I'd like to know where you get your stats from, because they are complete bollo%. Been speaking to 'somebody' at the flying club bar?

Strikemaster crash in 2000 in North Lincolnshire - Aircraft spinning in from FL150. Both Pilot & pax ejected, below 1500ft (not wise), Pilot died and pax survived.....What's even more ludicrous is that the Pilot was an ex RAF QFI on Harriers, normally the first ones to bang out! Why leave it so late??

Jet Provost T.5 crash in 199? off the Essex coast - Pilot ejected perfectly. Unfortunately for him, he landed in the sea and died from exposure because he wasnt dressed for the conditions.

Jet Provost T4 crash in Gloucestershire in 1999 - Both Pilot & Pax killed, prior to ejection (Dont think they ever got to the handles!)

Vampire T11 @ Biggin Hill in 2001 - See remarks above, despite P.1 being a very experienced RAF pilot

Cant think of any others right now, but that means your stats are not very accurate!
