FED and PN,
I don't think that gives a true representation of the facts. I was a brand new co-pilot and arrived at Coningsby about a month before the accident and took a very real interest in what had happened. AFAIR there was no question of Wg Cdr Baker overshooting but the co-pilot did so because of the goldfish bowl effect of a starlit night. Wg Cdr Baker ejected with the controls column still in his hand as they found the feel relief button embedded in his left hand. Regrettably no-one survived.
