Did anybody catch the 2 or 3 minute piece on the One show, about the ejector seat?

That Dan Snow chap was at the Martin Baker factory, & they showed the guys building the seats, footage of seat testing, & he looked at a collection of seats, right from their first seat, developed in the 40's :o B)

Well worth a watch via i player, it was on about 20 minutes into the programme. :)

Just to test the water here, I might contact Martin Baker to see if it would be possible to have a factory tour, would this be of interest to any other members of MMM :unsure:

Lads, lads, form an orderly queue goddammit... :lol: :lol: :lol:

...skip to the 22:30 mark.

I'll try and record the segment from Iplayer later, in case anyone needs it for reference in future.
