About the Item

A fantastic 6MSA ejection seat made by Martin Baker, used in the Blackburn Buccaneer S2. This superbly detailed, highly polished ejection seat with bespoke leather seat is now a fully functional chair, with a fully working electric raising seat mechanism. Developed in the 1950s and later operated by the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force, this twin-engine, all-weather aircraft became a symbol of power projection. With its distinctive swept-wing configuration and a tandem cockpit for pilot and navigator, the Buccaneer S.2 boasted impressive speed and range, coupled with a sizable payload capacity, primarily carrying nuclear weapons or conventional munitions. Its versatility in maritime operations and precision in delivering strikes made it a pivotal asset during the Cold War era, showcasing its prowess as an agile and reliable aircraft in both reconnaissance and attack roles. Martin Baker Aircraft Co. Ltd. is a British manufacturer of ejection seats and safety-related equipment for aviation. The company's origins were originally as an aircraft manufacturer before becoming a pioneer in the field of ejection seats. The company claimed in 2016 that since the first live ejection test in 1946, a total of 7,545 lives have been saved by the company's ejection seats. This seat is a Mk 3 seat, decommissioned, reconditioned and now ready to find a new home. It has to be one of the most eye-catching pieces, a focal point for any room and a conversation piece like no other. CONDITION In Great Condition, just general wear as expected.
