  1. Every parachute used on a Martin-Baker ejection seat was designed and qualified by IrvinGQ so I wonder if they also made the parachutes for the rear crew. If maybe worth asking:- https://www.irvingq.com/irvingq-products-services/aerial-delivery-search-and-rescue-products/aerial_delivery_personnel/emergency-escape-systems/ You could also try aviation museums and Martin Baker.

  7. From a Facebook group. Home office consultation on "Firearms Safety". Probably the section on Ammunition Components, could be the most worrying. The “Intent” would be to ban any item, bullet, case, etc to stop criminals manufacturing there own ammunition. This could impact on those collectors of inert ammunition and re-enactors like ourselves who display rounds at shows, events, schools, history societies and so on. If the ownership of a bullet or empty cartridge case becomes illegal, how would that effect our interests For all of the Home office guidance documents and the actual consultation, link:- https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/firearms-safety For the Survey, link:- https://www.homeofficesurveys.homeoffice.gov.uk/s/243NXS/ https://basc.org.uk/home-office-consultation/ Article by Bill Harriman.
