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: |
