Someone Harvey used to know held the record for the fastest-speed ever ejection from his aircraft, over Australia, I think. He broke almost every bone and was in hospital for ages, of course. Speed of aircraft, not of ejection; I couldn¡¯t quite get that right!

Saw on the BBC news about a Hawk Fighter crash in the South West. Thank Goodness, no one was seriously hurt. The pilots will have to have spinal X-rays because of the g-forces involved.
I have heard cases of RAF officers staying with the plane & dying, to be sure it didn't hit any civilians. How professional can you get?
