Hi Chris
Not sure about that guy saying "spoken to the crew & they are both fine".
I heard the pilot has a major neck injury & the nav has severe back injury after the ejection as there was a seat detatchment failure on both seats.
ie: they stayed in their seats right to the ground with chutes deployed so landed much harder and unsable to roll out.
Might be cobblers but that was what the paper was told by RAF press Office.
Was press release sent to my wife as she works on a local newspaper.
East Anglian Daily Times.
Regards
Rick
