I.M.H.O. Andy is correct in saying he ejected, but not in the way you mean, by todays ejector seats.
If I were driving my car, and lost control and jumped out just before I crashed, I would have self ejected. Geddit?.:)

They obviously achieved such a high price because of their rarity; an association with a pilot who ejected from his Spitfire makes them unusual and desirable.:rolleyes:

If he ‘ejected’ from a Spitfire, then he’s a VERY unusual chap….! :D:p
