Fighter Control even had a poster naming the pilot and was pretty descriptive of what happened. They are either a sick puppy for making it up or in the know. I hope it is the former because they confirmed the death. The post has since been removed and the site is now down.
Don't forget that the canopy will stay with the Hawk like a lot of the RAF's fighters during an ejection. The glass should be destroyed by a charge though.
A friend of mine was flying a Harrier once when the charge went off unexpectedly.
