A British-built ejection seat used in a French fighter jet has emerged for sale as aerospace hardware becomes an unlikely collectors item.
The Martin-Baker Mark IV aluminium seat sale flew in the 1980s.
It still has the operational handles above the pilot’s head and between their legs that, when pulled, would blast the seat free of the plane.
