With reference to the Malta crash: I was at the crash site the next morning and noticed that the rear crew seat "Booster Cushion" safety pins were still fitted to the seats. They had the "Remove before flight" warning on them.
Any ex V flyers able to shed some light on that?
A very lucky escape for the village of Zabbar because the main part of the aircraft fell on a piece of waste ground, but the burning wing landed in a street, killing a car driver.
As I remember weren't the ejection seats set off by the explosion of the wing?
