Upside-Down Ejection From A Meteor in 1956

A snippet from The Press newspaper (Christchurch, NZ) dated 3rd of July 1956:

Ejected From Plane Upside Down

LONDON. July 1.

A 24-year-old Royal Air Force pilot last night made the first known “upside down” escape with a parachute ejector seat when flying a Meteor jet fighter over a Royal Air Force station at North Weald, Essex. The airman, Pilot Officer John Hutchinson, was among a formation of Meteors coming in to land, when his wing-tip touched a concrete post and was damaged. He pulled the twisting aircraft up to 1500 ft and tried to point it towards an open field. As he jettisoned the cockpit canopy and operated the ejector seat, the aircraft turned upside down. Pilot Officer Hutchinson was shot downwards head first, but was saved when his automatic parachute-opening device functioned. The plane crashed into a field.
