Milltown was the place for MADDLs from Lossiemouth in the late 50s/early 60s. There were certain environmental restrictions on visual circuits at Lossie.
It was widely believed that the Laird of Pitgaveny, who lived within the Milltown circuit, disapproved of the 500 ft (more or less) MADDLs circuit height (esp Saturday mornings) and was in the habit of taking potshots, being good practice for the grouse season.
Scimitar guy met a problem (not the aforesaid Laird) on 23 at Milltown, and ejected on late finals. There was only time for the drogues to deploy, but not enough for seat separation or to deploy the main parachute. The pendulosity and stabilisation process meant the seat/drogue combo hit the ground almost horizontal, at low vertical speed, with the pilot feet first facing heaven, still in his seat. The seat ploughed a short deceleration furrow in soft ground, very close to the crater, whereupon the lucky guy disconnected himself and pretty much walked away intact.
