Hmm I have no idea, but are 150 Mio over 5 years such a big contact for MB?

That is 30 / a...  

How much is a modern ejection seat?  Lets say a Mk16?

One million? Half of that? Double?

Very well done to Martin Baker. I remember watching a documentary about the company years ago and the number of pilots their products have saved was very impressive (only now, I can't remember what that figure was!).

7628 lives saved as of today!

Wow, how many crashes may that have been!!

Fortunately these number does not rise that quickly as in earlier times, as far fewer aircraft flying also crash less frequently! Safety has improved a lot!
