Well, there was a foreign student training with the RN/RAF. On his first solo cross country - despite all the checks and measures - he flew into a cloud on an otherwise nice day, and ended up bailing out. There is no question that he had the correct training, and just like everyone else he appeared to be ready for the sortie. And yet he got himself into a right pickle.
