I notice that he did not jettison his canopy, just opened it.
In the first frame you can see it still attached.
Still worked out ok.
You seem to be able to see the canopy frame attached, but you can see
the canopy itself up to the left of the tailplane.
Agreed. It looks to me as if the frame stayed attached to the fuselage
while the plastic blew out. The latter is quite hard to see and has at
most some paint round its edges.
