Had an elevator jam on climb away from a low level bombing sortie. Just about to eject, looked down and realised I hadn't done up my leg straps before cat shot. Eventually got the aircraft under some sort of control and landed ashore. Received a commendation for saving the aircraft. I think I forgot to tell the enquiry about why I hadn't ejected.
