“My sincere apologies for being remiss in extending a well deserved “Thank You” to your company and its engineering excellence. The reputation of the Martin-Baker ejection seat had always given me confidence and I had no concern that it would ever fail me or any of my compatriots.

I had cut my teeth in jets equipped with lesser ejection seats with zero delay lanyards and operational envelopes outside of which survival was not assured. When the zero/zero seat arrived in the Crusader, it was truly a lifesaver.

Heartfelt thanks from me and my family.”
