I removed the Soko J-21 Jastreb from the list as it had the Folland Type 1-B seat, the same as the Folland Gnat and SOKO G-2a Galeb, not a Martin-Baker one. [1] Petebutt ( talk) 18:00, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

So we know for sure that the G-2 Galeb had the Folland seat and this list from Martin-Baker says the J-1 / J-21 had the same seat as the G-2 Galeb, therefore the seat in the Jastreb could not have been a Martin-Baker Mk.1. I rest my case, NEXT!! Petebutt ( talk) 19:43, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
It is stated that the MB Mk.1 seat was developed after a request from Their Airships at Whitehall due to a fatal accident in the Gloster E.28/39. This is patent nonsense.
Two E.28/39 aircraft were built, one was destroyed when at Flight Level Three-Nine-Zero (39,000 Feet), the aileron jammed in a right-hand turn, causing the aircraft to flip over and the engine to flame-out. Squadron Leader Douglas Davie was thrown clear of the aircraft and free-fell 20,000 feet from 33,000 feet before opening his parachute, suffering frostbite. He survived. This was the 30th of July 1943. He died in Gloster Meteor F.9/40 DG204 (One of the series of eight prototypes) on the 1st of April 1944.
The other E,28/39 resides at the Science Museum.
