This is a Type 7A/2 Mk 4 Martin Baker Ejection Seat as fitted as a mod to the F4J (UK) Phantoms, replacing the USN MB H7 original seat. This seat is equiped with the correct safety equipment for this type. The crew benefitted from command ejection enabling one crew member to eject both. The harness is therefore different from the earlier Phantom parachute harness. The Personal Survival Pack (PSP) was never updated to the Auto Deployment (ADU) modification fitted to the 7A Mk3 FRG. 2 seats.
