Does anybody know what seat this is?
A variant of the Martin Baker MK18. As far as I know, this ejection seat will be used in testing and production of the first few blocks for the next 10/15 years.

As you know, the components on the seat of the launch phase such as handle arm, canopy removal triggering system, catapult, head-neck protection arm, leg-arms restrains, seat pitots, sequencer, STAPAC, parachute etc work as a system. The last subsystems to be indigenized in the MMU will be the ejection seat and main engines.
Engines? Yes, absolutly. Ejection seat? I do not think so.
Why not? Why ty to fix what is not broken?
