Arthur Harrison live tested a Lockheed C-2 ejection seat fitted with a G.Q. Harness from a Canadian T-33  at Cold Lake in the 1950s

Sqn. Ldr. John "Fifi" Fifield live tested a Martin-Baker ejection seat for the CF-100

 

Ejection tests carried out by CAF from the rear of the CT-133 coded 413

Does anyone remember Arthur Harrison of GQ or Sqn Leader Fifi Fifield of Martin Baker both who performed live tests in Canada -

Arthur on the Lockheed seat and harness and Sqn Ldr Fifield who did the tests from the CF-100 - pilots of the aircraft, mechanics, technicians etc
