Research help regarding Ejector seat 1954
Hopefully you kind folk can help me further.
Martin Baker have confirmed that the seat I'm researching was fitted in Valiants, though unable to disclose any further information. The chute box has been deployed, so potentially used in an emergency; I can only find one such accident where seat was deployed, WP 202 by Flt Lt Colin Preece. I have pics of Seat / manufacturers plate details if of interest.
My first question for the Bluejobs:
Are there records detailing Aircraft serial number combined with Ejector seat serial number? In my mind the answer would be yes, but I wore Khaki and know little re RAF SOP's
Would the AIB report detail the seat details when deployed in anger?
Would the Board of enquiry detail the seat? If so, how could one find said report?
Were there any other Valiant crashes ( total of 10 that I can see) where the M-B seat was activated?
All answers appreciated
