He won't forget that gift. "Investigators also noted the "right air bellows of (his) anti-G pants (were) not closed", indicating the special trousers he had been given had not been properly inflated as they should be." I bet his trousers were fully inflated during the ejection. Edited April 14, 2020 by teaky 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poor guy had the fright of his life and was very lucky not to have suffered any kind of injury. The whole exercise seems to have been very poorly prepared and badly executed. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can smile that he survived physically unscathed from a catalogue of errors. You’d think a briefing about the seat would be top of the list! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium J. S. Bach Posted April 14, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) An ejection button??? The Martin-Baker(?) seat that I am familiar with (in the RA-C Vigilante) had a handle with a curtain attached above and behind your helmet that one had to grab and pull forcefully ALL the way out to eject. It also served to cover your helmet/head during the process. Edit: added a photo of the Vigi: Edited April 14, 2020 by J. S. Bach Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I suspect the journalist assumed rather than actually read the full report or understood how the seat works. Some designs pull up to eject either between or either side of the legs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ColinK Posted April 14, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 14, 2020 One that made me curse, rather than smile. Tonight I was in the middle of doing some difficult work on a friends narrow gauge loco, carefully filling and filing when we have a power cut - oops. At least I wasn’t in the middle of airbrush painting it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
