“I cannot begin to put into words how much in debt I am to all those who work for Martin-Baker. Without doubt, if it were not for their continual pursuit of excellence and product improvement, I would not be here today. Having twice had to resort to parting company from aircraft that simply did not wish my participation any longer, I count myself as one of the most fortunate people alive. I may have been slightly unfortunate to have chosen aircraft that developed terminal problems, but I was extremely fortunate to have a Martin-Baker ejection seat to save me on both occasions.

Thanks once again.”
