Perhaps too much aircraft (£££) for the role?

The PC 21 pictured looks to only have MDC for the front seater; what does the back seater do?
Chevvron, we're getting to the same situation as in the XX204 thread with some of these statements. I don't know where you've been looking but the Grob Prefect T1 DOES NOT HAVE EJECTION SEATS, as previously stated correctly by chopper2004. The Grob 120TP can be fitted as an option with ejection seats but Ascent, who own the aircraft did not go down that route.

To answer your question, there is some MDC over the rear seat of the Texan
