NEW GEAR IN AIRCRAFT
British-Built Ejector Seats (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) BONN, March 9. British-built ejector seats are to replace American Lockheed seats as standard equipment in West Germany’s acci-dent-plagued Starfighter fleet, the Defence Ministry said in Bonn yesterday. Luftwaffe staff officers have been urging the adoption of the British seat after the deaths of 37 pilots in 65 crashes since the Americanbuilt Starfighter went into service in 1961.
