In Focus: Eject! Eject!
Over the past 50 years or so, ejection seats have saved thousands of lives and have become historic items in their own right. We talk to the people who build, maintain and collect them.

Ejection seat pioneer Martin-Baker still operates a pair of Gloster Meteors for its work - Jarrod Cotter pays a visit.

Nick Parker introduces the pastime of collecting 'bang' seats.

With the increasing number of jet 'warbirds', the need for expert care of ejection seats is ever-pressing. Ken Ellis took a master-class with Seatstar.
