Hi – I recall when I got my first seat, I was struggling to id it and wrote to Martin Baker – I got a nice free booklet on the history of ejector seats by return of post and a personal letter in which they identified it as having been originally fitted to a Canadian CF100 Canuck and the date of manufacture – Never did find out how it ended up on a scrapyard in Staffs though!
There were a couple of CF-100 crashes in Scotland, and they used to be serviced at Prestwick by Scottish Aviation.
