F/O R.W. (Bill) Jupp of 422 Sqn, was towing a target drogue in RCAF Sabre 23387 when he experienced fuel exhaustion just as the drogue was being released over the airfield at Decimomannu, Sardinia. Too low to eject, and with flat terrain ahead, the pilot carried out a successful forced landing, although the aircraft suffered serious damage and was written off.
