    This is the main gun for the seat not the drogue gun which is attached to the head box. The four circular areas you can see are where the secondary cartridges are fitted. These are sympathetically fired by the hot gases from the primary cartridge as the gun fires. Inside is a telescopic staged tube which extends to propel the seat up the rail and thereby ejection. Ensure that there are no cartridges fitted by removing the circular caps. You need a special peg spanner to do this. If you get the part number from the gun we should be able to identify which seat it is for.

    In my previous life as an instructor trainer at the Instructional Flight at cranwell I have spent many hours taxying these Jaguars during the EngO scenario based training exercise The seats are disarmed and there is no bar across the throttle quadrant. Reheat and PTR are disabled.

    Will look at posting a HHA update but you must understand that much of our operation is commercially sensitive. probably best to update the website for all to see. http://www.hunterteam.com

    Last lightning:
    Your Flickr photo for ZZ190 states that she is former Swiss Mk58 J4058. Just to keep your info up to date, she was J4066, then G-HHAE before gaining military registration
    ZZ190. J4058 is now ZZ191 and was also formerly G-HHAD
    Dave F68 is correct – all our swiss aircraft have AN-ALE40 Chaff / Flare dispensers fitted in the port and stbd Sabrinas

    It was a pleasure to help and you know where we are, if we had known we could have brought a pitot static test set up with us. You know you guys only have to ask and we will help when and where we can. Good to see Nev looking so well and congratulations to you all in getting her to this stage.

    It was a HHA Hunter Mk58 – ZZ191 on a trials support flight out of Yeovilton. Customer was more than happy with the results and the aircraft landed back serviceable.
