Hunter down in North Wales

The Shropshire Star is reporting that a Hawker Hunter crashed in North Wales yesterday. Apparently the pilot ejected to safety and is doing OK. Anyone heard anything more?

'Twas Hunter G-BVVC in North Wales. Pilot ejected, separated from the seat but landed in the sea, therefore suffering from Hypothermia. Pilot transferred to hospital, where he is 'OK'

As always, let's not let the facts get in the way of some juicy speculation shall we??
