I was totally unaware of the Martin Baker Club , the successor to the Caterpillar Club I assume.
Thanks for a very informative post.

The pin seems to have change in design at some point in time , it looks like it has silver wings with a red triangle in the centre. Unlike the caterpillar club pins this one hasn’t his name on the back.
I thought I had left a link on my last post. Ejection Tie Club – Martin Baker There’s some stories on there about how some of the people lives have been saved by martin baker ejection seats.
Thanks
