Oh my, I was briefly following one on FR24 earlier too in that neck of the woods. I see the Falcon 20s from BOH are circling close by. Wishing the best...

It popped up on the alerts for FR24 just before 09:30, it then disappeared over the water about 5 miles south of Falmouth.

Martin-Baker have just Tweeted about another successful ejection courtesy of their products, so I'm guessing all is well...

Glad both occupants are safe.

And today's Martin Baker Tie Winners are.....

Lost on the approach to 29 by the looks of. Great to hear both are safe and well, MB have something in the post for you.

Do they use Irvin parachutes (or the successor company)? If so I assume there will be caterpillar club badges on the way eventually as well.

So glad they are safe and well.

Sadly, now one less T1 to be considered. I'm also sure that I'm not the only one who feels that the MB patch is, shall we say, capable of more than one interpretation.

Very glad to hear that the crew are OK!

XX189? What a shame - I first flew it over 40 years ago on the first of the new TWU courses with 63 Sqn at Heaven-in-Devon.

If that had been built by the Wright Brothers it would have still been operating during the 2nd World War.
