Reynolds.. "SOAF Jag blew itself up" Seem to recall it was a hang-up on the wing due to using Hunter ordnance on a Jag. As you say that's another story
If that was RL, I saw him a few years afterwards, and his burns were horrific. He told me (I think) the 'delayed' ordnance was incorrectly fused and went off about 20' below the Jag, starting an oxy fire, which is what caused the burns. He managed somwhow to get to the handle!! . Hope you are well, Rick (23F Leuchars).
