44 forum posts 40 photos	Posted by Bill Davies 2 on 26/08/2022 14:21:46: I did some work for Martin-Baker at Denham a few years ago. Lovely to see their work, impressive factory. Beautiful model, Carl, very well done. Bill Cheers Bill. Are you 'in the trade' as it were ? I was in the RAF for long time as a Survival Equipment Fitter. Although our trade wasnt involved with the servicing of seats we naturarly had a close association with the seat bays with the chutes and life rafts etc. Ive always been fascinated with these mechanical marvels. Incredible bits of kit. Here is a simpler seat I made based on the Buccaneer seat, the MK6 I fancy re-doing this seat in a larger scale and really going to town on it ! Thank You Carl
