Ah, yes, John.  We certainly envied you "Brits" with your Martin Baker seat
- not only for their gentler boost - but perhaps more so for their zero/zero
capability - we had the other two items already {:>)

Oh yeah! I remember that. It was the day before my [first] wedding. One
of the guys asked the Sergent in charge "What's it going to feel like,
Sarg?" The reply ... "Biggest kick in the ass you'll ever have, sir!".
The RAF motto was "put your trust in God, your mother and Martin Baker,
but not necessarily in that order." Thankfully I never got to pull that
handle in anger - but I had my hands on it and muscles tensed a couple
of times....
