Does anyone know what proportion of the global off take goes to the RAF/ MoD ?
From the M-B website ...
News & Events - Martin-Baker
"Martin-Baker has over 17,000 ejection seats in service around the world today, fitted to 54 different aircraft types in 84 different countries. These programmes have consisted of both newly designed seats as well as seats already in production being fitted to brand-new aircraft, but also being fitted to existing aircraft."
500th F-35 seat delivered in March. 2000th seat for JPATS (T-6) last December
I don't think MoD gets a look in with those numbers. They could always try sulking and buy elsewhere - I'm told the Russians do very good ejector seats these days.
So it's still a mystery - or a conspiracy ....
