Daily Telegraph 8 Feb 17: "Flight Lieutenant Nathan Jones, 34, fractured his back and was left with several other injuries after the incident and was medically downgraded. He told the hearing how he crawled along the ceiling to wrestle back control of the plane, saving the lives of those on board by steadying the Voyager aircraft after it was sent into a 4,400ft-dive in just 29 seconds."

Service Inquiry (1.3.35): Injuries - "the Co-Pilot...received minor injuries".
Service Inquiry (Convening Authority Comments) "the aircraft's automatic high-speed protection system triggered after 13 seconds, reducing the engines to idle before commencing a sustained positive 'g' recovery"
