My old Mate Colin Woods,of the Cranwell Razzing Tape Fame,was second dickie in a Mk1a on a Training Flight when it got into difficulties over Wales.The Captain was "Boss" Smith and he instructed the back seaters to jump,then he and Colin Ejected successfully,after trying to perform a very long extended final to a straight in at Valley,which proved Not On!!So another example of the whole crew surviving.As I recall Boss Smith went on to run the Varsities at Oakington,and Colin lead the Poachers after the V Force,then Rothmans in 76.The poor chap succumbed to the dreaded "C",some years ago.
