Awesome pic but I'm going to be pedantic, that's one of the NASA F-18s not T38s.

XF297

BY-738

Hunter GA11

738 NAS

Jumped the wheel chocks during full power engine checks at Brawdy, Pembrokeshire and ran into the 738 NAS office block. The pilot was seriously injured. After being extricated it was struck off charge and stripped for spares

...is all I can find for it with a brief search. No further details regarding the pilot's name and the nature of his injuries.

I would assume that vintage of ejector seat aren't zero-zero so serious injury would certainly result.

The first zero-zero bang seat was the Mk6 fitted to the Buccaneer S2.

Albatros D.V taken at Stow Maries aerodrome the weekend before last. For a split second I felt the need to dive into a trench.
