Bad TD. Here’s me induced in by the thought of Pan Am and BOAC stewardesses (and British Caledonian girls, much remembered from school air trooping flights in the 70s :) ), and you give us ejector seats.

If i’d have been born a few decades earlier i would have joined the junior service without hesitation, back when a new aircraft was being rolled out every other week and the UK could boast a world-beating aviation industry!
How sexy is the image of that Lightning in the fourth photo!
