John,
have ordered your book but will not read it straight away. We are going on a Bordeaux wine cruise in August so will save it for then. As we enjoy the wine tasting I will raise the glass to MB and all those the seats saved. Even now after working on the Javelin, Hunter and Lightning all those years ago if I am anywhere near the cockpit of a museum exhibit with an ejection seat I instinctively check that it is safe ! The Pavlov dog syndrome my wife calls it.
Best wishes
