Attention Peter M.
I think this might belong to you.
It is from England
And it does have your name on it.

No...Only kidding...That is a model that I never used. It is one that can provide escape from a stationary aircraft and to do that it needs rockets...It is possibly from a Harrier

Re: Attention Peter M.
me too. JK I just noticed the wording on the seat and thought you might get a kick out of that.
Interesting observation on the seat

Yes, I did get a kick out of it Thanks for posting, it reminds me of a story that I've probably told about my "G-Suit patent bum massaging cushion".airboatr wrote: me too. JK I just noticed the wording on the seat and thought you might get a kick out of that.

I won't bore you with it again but I did spend one hell of a lot of hours strapped firmly to a Martin-Baker bang seat. They were pretty hard because the bit that you sat on was a flat rubber survival water bag and water being uncompressible, it was as hard as a park bench

Re: Attention Peter M.
I thought that all M-B seats ( at least in the RAF versions) eventually had the survival pack installed in a yellow fibreglass shell with a nice piece if Welsh lamb fleece over it. ( It was found I think that the hard shell was better for your back if you had to use the seat in emergency as the earlier soft (ish) PSPs caused back problems due to the initial kick flexing the backbone.) The face blind handle ejection method was also better because of the better posture, but it could take longer to get to it compred to the seat mounted handle.

Re: Attention Peter M.
That must have been after my time...I sat on a square water filled cushion with a central rectangular hole in it for the parachute harness crutch loop to pass through. The water being uncompressible made it rather hard to sit on for a long time, but did not squash on ejection causing a spine injuring bump. The water bottle cushion was your survival water and under that was the dinghy pack in the seat pan.Dev One wrote:I thought that all M-B seats ( at least in the RAF versions) eventually had the survival pack installed in a yellow fibreglass shell with a nice piece if Welsh lamb fleece over it.
