An amazing story. I remember it being on the news in Scotland. Glad everyone got out

Judging by the amount of time they spend in the bar, I'm surprised they don't collide more often! 😂

Want that hoodie. Your store broke. :(

What a Story. And he is such a cool Guy. Really love this VIdeo. GREAT JOB😍

Great story and storyteller!

Done

Amazing account Herbie! I was on 19 and remember the “incident” but to get the full back story is epic! Thankfully never needed the Martin Baker option but glad it all worked out for you guys!! As they say there but for the grace of God! Cheers “Throb” ex 19 Wildenrath. TDPU this year?

Ahhh bless you MJ, could see you struggling not to swear…F*cking Stunning!

Huh, I never knew that about chaff, that it is cut at the same wavelength.

What was the outcome of the board of enquiry?

So, what is that on the top cockpit canopy glass behind him ? Is it for heated glass, a radio antenna, or just a graphic design ?

Great story, fascinating and detailed insight. What was the final outcome of the BOE? Presumably JH didn't carry the can for the mid-air?

Wow...what a story. Very well detailed with lots of typical Air Force humor too. Thanks.

That was a fantastic interview, I really enjoyed it. Thank you!

'Big day out' (pardon his pun)

Nasty has a very alluring presence.

I've watched dozens of fighter pilot and ACM videos, read books too. This is the most detailed and the best.❤

As they say you meet your maker in a Martin - baker

I wondered how much more powerful the spey engine was Than the J79

Fantastic survival story vividly recounted.

Brilliant. Thank you both.

Gorgeous Jet… did they take out the adour for spares?

I hope you play the Topgun anthem on your f14

dozer is such a nice guy!

Hell of a story, but made absolutely stellar by a delightfully detailed and descriptive storyteller - Herbie’s a natural and seemed to make life easy for the interviewer, who provided the occasional encouraging nudge. You’ve a real talent for finding enticing stories and delivering immensely engaging one-on-one interviews with the guys who lived them. The result is just outstanding. Thank you.

2:18 “Early on a Monday morning in the briefing room, mugs of tea in hand…” 😂 was a more quintessentially (modern) British sentence yet uttered?

Loved the story kept engaged the whole way through 👍🏼

Having very limited formation experience in propeller aircraft (Pitts), I'd be interested to understand how a backseater (no matter how good) could be responsible for station keeping and collision avoidance. Was there some standard language to direct the pilot? Love to know more.

Brilliantly told! What an experience....

What a story teller!

What if you eject over 10,000ft MSL but the ground is at 9,800ft MSL? Will you hit a mountain sill in your seat?

Are you sure because that looked like a crescent moon on the tail.

Brilliantly told. Enjoyed every minute!

Incredible story, another fantastic interview. 😀

What a great story and storyteller! Thanks!

Fabulous interview - one of your best. I think you manage to ask about four questions only and "Herbie" just took off from there. Very engaging. Fun with a touch of pathos. Thanks!

Loved this one!

@grinner2916 Great interviews, thank you for sharing your anecdotes with us. Might the Nav in your 1000 hrs champagne photo be one KH, who spent most of his time a bit further north? If so, I knew him further towards the end of his flying days, when he had less hair but still a big toothy grin.

Your video was a perfect mix of education and entertainment.

I made a demonstration parachute jump into the sea south of Sydney, Australia. I'd been given what resembled children's 'water wings' as floatation gear. I was wearing a helmet, a cotton jumpsuit, leather boots and two smoke cannisters on my ankles. On the descent, I lost my floatation gear. After hitting the water, all the gear started getting heavy to the point where I was struggling to keep afloat. When a boat came to pick me up, they ran straight over the suspension lines of the parachute and in an attempt to extract themselves were ignoring my call for assistance. I could see me drowning twenty feet from the boat. When I finally got in the boat, I was instructed to get out and untangle the lines from the propeller!

Spot on :)

excellent interview, and so glad he is here to talk about it

Excellent interview!!!
