Oh the horrors. Think of the baby Loggerheads.

I'm want no parts of this amusement park. Nope, nope nope. :headshake

Any more info on that one, Bruce?

Many dead, suffocated turtles and other animals. Not to mention all the tiny sea life that lived in the sargassum itself. It's said to quite odorsome.

Mexico is spending $9,000,000, Tobago, $3,000,000 to clean up. So far.

No, it's on several sites but always under, Photos That Speak A Thousand Words.

I think this an incident/accident report for this event. I worked on Bruce's pic, for clarity of plane number, and, I think the plane is ZG478, which would be the aircraft in this report.

First I did a TinEye search for the photo, and came up with this:

Then I searched for 'harrier May 14, 2009'.

This is Bruce's pic, enlightend a bit:

It might say 'ZG478'...

Thanks for your efforts in researching that, Mr G. :thumb::thumb:

Just relying on memory, I think that a new generation of 'Bang seat' had to be developed for the Harrier.
They were described as 'Zero Zero' seats as they could be used on the ground and with no forward speed.
Must have been one hell of a boot up the arse when you pulled the handle.

At least 10% of ejector seats made are used? Yikes.

That's on British built jets. :lol2: :bolt:

There's a few stories here from pilots who have 'banged out' and owe their lives to Martin-Baker ejection seats:

One is from a French pilot who has had to leave his aircraft in something of a hurry on two occasions.
One of those rare events when a Frenchman has actually thanked the British. :eek:

For the aviator about town, the latest in fast jet soft furnishings, lace edged ejection seat headrest covers!
