You can bail out of a crashed aircraft by the way...

But not usually one that's come down so hard it's burrowed into the ground.

Yes, but he bailed out of that one after the impact... Just pointing out that you can bail out after a crash...

Ah, I didn't think of that! Had image of big smoking hole in ground from which parachute suddenly deploys...

Yup, I think the 'impact' that the article's talking about is the collision with the Dornier.

Chop up Gerry, paracute from 350ft, cut self from parachute, kiss girls, go to pub, go to barracks, few drinks, back to base - what an example to us all!
