I couldn't find the detail in the report, but what happened in the inadvertent hawk ejection from 1983 that was referred to?
There were actually two in 1983 within a week of each other. One was a Red that suffered a wire strike with a Liney in the back who banged out without waiting for Eject, Eject, Eject (he did pull the handle). The other one was a Fighter Controller whose 'Red connection' was that he shared the same first name as Red 2 in Star Wars who banged out of a TWU Hawk off the coast of East Anglia. He claims the seat just went off after he was rescued (everybody I personally know who knows about it think otherwise), however seeing the seat was never recovered nobody will know. In a long archived thread on here, BEagle recounts seeing the Hawk land at Wattershambles with the ejection gun tube sticking out the back of a broken rear canopy with quite a bit of damage to the fin. While somebody else recounts what the Hawk was doing when the seat and scopie departed the aircraft (2 ship figure of eight pattern visual CAP if memory serves).
