Hunter down in Wales

Reported on NW news last night (Friday), that a Hunter lost power at 20,000 crossing back from Ireland and crashed in Wales. Pilot (Bae test pilot) ejected safely, got interviewed on TV so obviously (and thankfully) safe and well. Sounds like he did a very responsible job in pointing the aircraft at clear ground before banging out.

Well done that man - poor old Hunter just a tail sticking out of the ground I'm afraid. Camouflaged with a yellow numbered circle on the fin.
