Tom, are those seats live? You must also have a combined age of 40 at most in that cockpit too! Grrrrrrrrr :lol:

48 combined Trev :wink:

Yes the seats are live. Not sure I’d want to use them though. There are quite a few bits sticking out around the cockpit that look they would be in the way :think:

That would make you a relatively old g*t like me then Tom! :lol:

Mmm, depends if the bits break. At low level in a single engined beast I think I'd rather have the bang seat option and end up with a few cuts an bruises than the other options... :redface:

It's one of those rock - hardplace calls I think. Do you risk banging out and never being able to walk again, or try and put it down in a field and risk the seats going off anyway. The civilian mentality would probably be to try and put it down at the nearest airfield before resorting to the seat, whereas I suspect the military guys are taught to pull the handle.

Either way the prospects aren't good!

The photos above were heading South towards Windermere btw (just saw your question Charlie)
