A famous photograph showing test pilot George Aird ejecting from a pre-production example of the

English Electric Lightning fighter in September 1962.

Fortunately the pilot survived after coming down in a greenhouse full of tomatoes. He suffered multiple breaks of his limbs and cuts from the shower of glass that rained down on him after going through the roof of the greenhouse.
