Historical description

The Martin-Baker Mk.2 seat, known as the “hot seat,” was one of the first production ejection seats installed in military aircraft after World War II. It was used, among others, in the Hawker Hunter – the flagship British fighter jet of the Cold War era. The Hawker Hunter served with the Royal Air Force as well as countries such as Switzerland, the Netherlands, India, Jordan, and Sweden. It saw active service from the 1950s for nearly three decades, both as a fighter and as a ground-attack aircraft. The Mk.2 seat was a key safety feature for pilots, allowing safe escape from the aircraft in the event of an in-flight emergency.
