The Mark 10 Rebuild
The Mark 10 was delivered in about
1,000 pieces. (no I did not count them, but it seemed like it). See the gallery
to see the breakdown.
The seat had come from an RAF Marham
Tornado and was quite damaged in the seatpan and headbox area. There was a stack
of spares included including a brand new seat pan.

So one week later.......
The seatpans were different...both
from Mk 10's but some mods were needed to fit all the bits from the damaged
seatpan. This was acceptable for a display seat.
