From a mate, LN5 is a postcode area in Lincolnshire - go UK Govt ICT!
Well that's to be expected. The superior NHS technology is detecting the COVID that Apple builds into the iPhone. It's all about the 5G, well known fact that.

@Machpants I assume the bang seats have to be that violent to achieve zero, zero ejection?
Was also the reason that I couldn't join the Airforce and fly fighters. Would have lost my knees due to thigh length and A4's being a bit small for me. From memory max height was 188cm.
Bang seats are less violent then they used to be, they are rockets now, rather than explosives charges. So there is a ramp up of acceleration, rather than instant G. Old seats had a tendency to compress the spine, after 2 or 3 ejections, you were not allowed in them again. And in the post war era, with world war attitudes to safety, that wasn't that uncommon!
Skyhawks are absolutely tiny, so that doesn't surprise me. Normally the is a height min/max, and various limb parts, thigh length, arm reach, weight too. We force fed the tiny lady on my Nav course before her official measure and weigh in, made her drink pints of water. She was only over the limit by less than half a kilo. Fell off a horse in the end, and had to go multi engine. Helis and bang seats were a no go

That is why they are called choppers surely?

Kamov? Counter rotating thing? It ejects the blades first or something doesn't it, then the pilot gets to bang out (so to speak).
