Static display eh ? ...

Martin Baker have had something to think about, while I realise the undemanded ejection incident was a little while ago.

Anyone remember Taylor Scott's accident, in a Harrier GR5 ?

The seat, The Mk12 being then a new model, didn't fire undemanded, but the chute drogue rocket did, and he was dragged to his death.

I was photographer on the BOI and knew a whitewash when I saw it...

His widow eventually won after 5 years of bitter fighting against the top teams of lawyers ranged by BAe against her one.

The best seats in the world - apparently the Russian jobs.
