Footage from 1964 aboard the Ark Royal of a Market-Baker ejection seat, Mark 7, trails using a mocked up Buccaneer cockpit with under-seat rockets, created to extend ejection acceleration from 6 ft to ~120 ft, slashing forces while enabling safe zero-zero ejections—allowing a pilot to eject safely while standing still on the ground or while descending rapidly close to the ground. Of course, a World‘s first.🫡
