Seat wanted for return to flight project

[jimgriff]

I am trying to source a Martin Baker GW5 (Mk S5) seat as fitted to some models of the North American F-86. Is there any chance that you might be able to find me one? This is for return to flight project and it is imperative that the seat is in good condition prior to rebuild and arming.



Any information would be welcome.

Jim,

Does the restoration jet need a Martin Baker seat?
I could contact an owner for you, see if he could help....

"We can provide you used, not longer in service, ejetion seat, of two kind of aircraft F-86 ejection seat and OV-10 Ejection seat.

Yes, we need an MB seat as the North American seat as fitted to most USAF and some export models will be far to hard to service from an explosive point of view.
We need an Mk S5, a Mk R5 or a GU/W5 as fitted to Dutch and other european F-86's.

I cant access the link you sent. Can you PM me with a link RW?

Thanks

Hi Jim,

I cannot see much on their website, but I suggest you write to them directly at that email address. I have doubts that they would be MB seats though....
