Secret to Pakistan aircraft losses in Op Sindoor could lie in Martin-Baker's ejection seats records
They also don't give details of aircraft lost in conflict because of the secrecy pact involved. But they do update the numbers of lives saved. Whenever a pilot using Martin-Baker seats ejects safely, they update the numbers. They post when pilots make a successful ejection, but not when a fighter has crashed or the pilots ejected, but unsuccessfully. New Delhi: On 7 May this year, as India and Pakistan entered into what was to be an 88-hour conflict, British firm Martin-Baker, which manufactures ejection seats for top fighters around the world, posted on social media that they had saved 7,789 lives in all until then. On 16 April, the company posted, 'Yesterday, a Pakistan Air Force Mirage V ROSE aircraft crashed near Ratta Tibba, Vehari. Both pilots successfully ejected using the Martin-Baker PRM4 seat.' The post said 7,784 lives had been saved until that date. On 7 May, Martin-Baker posted on X saying, 'Yesterday, a USN F/A-18F Super Hornet from VFA-11 crashed into the Red Sea after a failed arrestment occurred during a night landing on the USS Harry S. Truman. Both air crew successfully ejected using the Martin-Baker US14A (NACES) Seat.' They updated the total lives saved figure to 7,788. They posted another crash detail as well on 7 May, saying: 'Earlier today a Finnish Defence Force (FDF) F/A-18C Hornet crashed while practising for an air show near Rovaniemi in Lapland. The pilot successfully ejected using the Martin-baker SF-14A (NACES) Seat,' which took the total lives saved to 7,789. But this updated figure does not account for 7,785 and 7,786. So, details of at least one crash if not two were missing between 16 April and 7 May involving two pilots. The next update from Martin-Baker came on 31 July, announcing the saving of 7,793 lives in total. 'Yesterday, an A-29A Super Tucano was involved in a midair collision over Porto Ferreira. The pilot successfully ejected using the Martin-Baker BR10LCX Ejection Seat,' the post read. The only crash the IAF has had after 7 May was a Jaguar on a training sortie, when both pilots unfortunately could not eject and died. The answer to the puzzle of the missing details surrounding the three lives (7,790, 7791, 7792) saved by Martin Baker ejection seats could be in what IAF chief Air Chief Marshal A.P. Siingh said Saturday. He said that India's S-400 Triumf air defence system had shot down Pakistan's 5 fighter aircraft. The Pakistani fighter jets using Martin-Baker seats in the 88-hour conflict were the JF-17 and F-16s. The J-10s use Chinese-made ejection seats. A correlation between Martin-Baker's posts and what the IAF chief said indicates that at least three Pakistani pilots managed to eject despite their aircraft being shot down, indicating confirmation of the IAF chief's statement.

Bypass plan for potential new town dropped
A government agency which had proposed to build two bypasses to take a planned new town's traffic is now only planning one. Homes England wants to build 3,400 homes at Chalgrove Airfield, Oxfordshire, and previously proposed building two bypasses, one through Cuxham and another through Stadhampton and Chiselhampton. It still plans to build the latter but has dropped the proposal for Cuxham and wants to use traffic calming measures and a bike path there instead. Many residents are opposed to the homes plan, as are South Oxfordshire District Council (SODC) and Chalgrove Parish Council, which said the plan would be "unsustainable due to its isolated location". There are about 1,200 homes in Chalgrove currently and community events were held for residents about the project in April 2024. The airfield has been used for decades by ejector seat maker Martin-Baker, which has a lease on the site until 2063. The firm has said it will not move willingly. Homes England pulled an earlier plan in 2021 and concerns about the development and the proximity to the airfield's runway were previously raised by the Civil Aviation Authority and residents. In documents shared by SODC, Homes England had previously planned to submit three planning applications for the development. They would have included homes at the airfield and for its northern runway and two others for the bypasses. Four are now planned. They would include an outline planning application for the airfield's main site, another for a realigned northern runway, one for the Stadhampton and Chiselhampton bypass and another for the Cuxham travel route. Other proposals for traffic calming along the B480 and A329 within Stadhampton and Chiselhampton and the B480 through Cuxham are proposed but how "is yet to be determined", SODC said.
