F35/ Martin Baker Ejection seat testing. Video
Re: F35/ Martin Baker Ejection seat testing. Video
Great footage & a neat step for MB. with the inflatable protection package. I was surprised to see that only the rear cockpit canopy shatters, the 'bit' behind the frame. Yeah!... the frame, what's that all about? Does nobody need to see what's outside anymore?

The Martin-Baker company maintains its own airfield, Chalgrove Airfield, in Oxfordshire for operational testing of ejection seats. A second airfield (the former RAF Langford Lodge near Crumlin in County Antrim) is also used for testing, and houses a 6,200 feet (1,900 m) high-speed rocket sled track.
Two Gloster Meteor aircraft, WL419 and WA638, remain in service with the company as flying testbeds. Another Meteor (WA634), used in early development of ejection seats, is retained at the RAF Museum at RAF Cosford.
