On the Tornado we would remove and stow all pins apart from the SPFH on crew-in. The 'live' canopy was lowered shortly after start, with the groundcrew hiding underneath. We would taxi out for a short distance before the remove, show and stow of the seat pins. Seat and canopy pins would be reinserted on the taxi back so that everything would be safe for the winch-back.
