Very strange this one :doh ....... extremely rare for these seats to fire on the ground, although they are set to do so in these display aircraft.

Scampton is pretty close to me, I've worked on there. They are supposed to be moving to RAF Waddington soon, which is right next to me...not sure if that is a good thing or not! :omg:
