It`s been a while....
Airfix Harrier GR.3 kit in 1/48 scale for those that like to know.
Squadron Leader Bob Iveson left HMS Hermes to make the attack and two passes were made over the Argentine positions; then Sqn Ldr Iveson decided to make a third. His Harrier was hit by two 35 mm shells which knocked out his controls and started a fire in the cockpit.
At around 100 ft, he immediately ejected, As he was only at around 100 ft, he immediately pulled the ejection handle and left the cockpit while the Harrier was doing around 450 knots and his aircraft exploded in mid-air shortly afterwards; he hit the ground after being under the parachute for only ten or fifteen seconds.
He suffered spinal compression and wind-blast damage to his eyes but hit the ground sufficiently far from the Argentine positions to make good his escape and was picked up two days later by a Royal Navy helicopter.
If anyone wants to play with their photoshop app and put a Falklands back ground in, please feel free.

brilliant that mate
Re: Eject! Eject! Eject!
Very much a wow! Not to mention the great imagination to get this out there well done
Re: Eject! Eject! Eject!
Excellent ejection shot. The photoshop job very clever.
Funnily enough One of mine had an emergency ejection last night. My 29 Squadron Typhoon ZK343 fell off its wall mount....
Only damage was the cockpit canopy off and....the pilot located 10 feet away at front door
Textbook ejection
Made us both laugh (even at 02.30!).

Re: Eject! Eject! Eject!
I know this is a thread from a few years ago, just stumbled on the picture via a google search. Just wanted to say to the OP that it’s a really good model and effect - have never seen a model of an ejection actually taking place. Other than being impressed my interest in your model is pretty simple really - my Dad is in it
Last year was his 70th and got him 2 models - an Italian company had made a model of ZX988 in Falklands markings which I found on ebay and a US company had made a model of the Armoured Charmer - the Tornado my Dad flew to the Gulf and flew in combat there and I managed to locate a boxed one of those.
Anyway just wanted to say top marks for the model, very impressive.

Re: Eject! Eject! Eject!
Thank you very much for the kind words and it`s always appreciative to hear from someone so closely linked to an event I recreated in plastic.
Please send my regards to your father and thank him for his service.
