Saw two buccaneer ejections straight off the Cats. Sure they wouldn't have had time to jettison the Canopy, but went Through Canopy. All O/K but often wonder (this is before rocket assisted, and underwater ejection) they were very lucky, as the height was minimum. Drouge would have fired but parachute was not at sufficient height to fully deploy etc etc. Must have hit the oggin at a great rate of knots
