The pilot struck the tailplane of the aircraft as he jumped, knocking him unconscious and preventing him from deploying his parachute. Upon landing, No 412 Sqn's CO, Sqn Ldr M D Boyd, quickly proceeded by road to the area where Cowan had abandoned his fighter and duly discovered the pilot's lifeless body.
