Did BAe offer MoD a Hawk Command Ejection Mod ?
...
Thanks Ron and Moi -
That would make sense - similar for the Gnat before. It really limits the options to command eject Mod or not at all.
I wonder if British Aerospace ever offered MoD the option to modify Hawk T1 for command ejection from either seat ? ... If not, why not ?
Did MoD refuse what would have been a sensible offer, using the same pathetic excuse that they used to refuse Martin Baker's proposal for fitting the Gas Shackle to Hawk ejection seats ? ... While taking it for Tornado ?
Deaths inevitably follow every case of inappropriate or plain daft decisions (like so many others) made in the safety of the office.
