Perhaps his navigator did not have the ejection seat or something like that.........

Dreamer remember this when you eject it doesn't matter who pulls the eject cord, The GIBS or in his case the navigator will go out first the person sitting behind always goes out first than the front guy Why because if the font guy goes out first he will roast the GIBS,What must have happend is the navigator man separation did not take place.

That was my fist conclusion if Rashid Minhas would have ejected he would have killed Matiur Rahman,. Because he left his ejection pin in so he could not eject.

Sie, You are correct. In the Canberra, only the pilot is equipped with an ejection seat. The navigator sits at a small table buried deep in the fuselage with his head at the knee level of the pilot. Whereas the pilot could just punch out in his ejection seat in times of an emergency, it was a laborious routine for the Navigator to go through the process of bailing out.

The navigator has to unbuckle himself from his position, go to the hatch, pull the lever that opens the crew entry hatch and a windbreak popped out of the hatch to protect the crew from the windblast. The navigator having to jump and release his parachute manually. All this with the assumption there was sufficient altitude to jump out and deploy one's chute.

If it happened when the Canberra was in the take off mode, or landing finals, where there is not enough altitude, it was certain death for the navigator. Not surprisingly, there were many incidents when pilots refused to eject in an emergency and tried to land their stricken aircraft rather than abandon their navigators. And many paid for it with their lives.

I have flown Canberra's in 1978 it was a dual ejection system.

Canberra (British name)
B-57 (American name)
Both are one and the same
