72modeler Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Stumbled upon this today, and I think the footage will be of interest to WW2 and postwar modelers and enthusiasts; I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for WW2 pilots to bail out successfully- first, to get clear of a spinning or burning aircraft; then to not strike the fin or stabilizers; then to have the 'chute deploy correctly with enough altitude to open fully.

noelh Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Very interesting 'Lynch' really Bernard Lynch went on to do 30 ejections. I wonder how his back stood up to that? He wasn't even a pilot! Brave man indeed. A friend of mine who ejected from a Harrier reckoned he's an inch shorter now but then again he loves a good flying tale.
