IIRC in about 1976 a Strikemaster (developed from the Jet Provost) of SOAF got in a flat spin. The pilot ejected near the ground and landed just beside the aircraft. I saw some photo's taken from the helicopter sent to rescue him.
Not sure if there was fuel in the tip tanks but no post impact fire.
