To add to this thread
Martin-Baker have had well over the 7000 successful ejections quoted. Many
ejectees have never bothered to claim their "Ties and Pins" from the company so
don't appear in the official figures. Several air forces were not as good as
others at keeping records and so even more were not recorded. Many successful
ejections became unsuccessful once the seat left the aircraft - in the Vietnam
conflict many ejected and were seen on the ground and became MIAs.
You could also add to that the many live test ejections by test ejectees using
the M-B seats, plus you could take it even further as the Chinese have
basically copied the later Mk-10 M-B seat and there is a Romanian company
producing copies of the Mk-10 (to my knowledge without license)
An excellent book that gives a record of the first 6500 ejections is Sir James
Martin by Sarah Sharman isbn 1-85260-551-0 pub Patrick Stephens Ltd 1966 (the
writer happens to be Sir James Martin's great niece) - well worth getting.
