Barn find help. Spitfire seat???

OK so i found this in a friends barn few days ago...









It looks like a Spitfire seat but we are not 100% sure. Its been in the barn for years, he was clearing it out when i seen it. He also has the "bonnet" off a WW2 type fighter plane but we cant find it just yet. I think its a great find, rare to i imagin.

Any info or help would be great...thanks

Looks pretty darn close to the Spit seat assembly drawings I have in front of me.

Yea, looking on google images i thought it looked like a Spitfire or Hurricane seat. Both these plane types were dismanteled and scraped on the Maghaberry airfield after the war, only yards from my house and my friends house. It has been in my friends barn for 67 years, the alloy and wood work is in great condition. Ive only had a quick look but there are markings and stamps on the frame work. I hope to clean off the dust to see what the markings say.

There should be a long oval plate rivetted to the seat pan itself, which will have the drawing number on it (amongst other things).
The corner of the seat drawing I have is somewhat blurred, but I think the number is AS 6231.

Sorry, scrub that number. AS 6231 is a Fairey Aviation seat drawing poking out from underneath the Spit seat and frame assembly drawing.

It's got more drink can holders than my SUV:)

Nice find; no doubt some aircraft restorer will be interested.

Would ebay be the best place to sell this?

Fairey did produce seats for other manufacturers.

Nice find, is it made of Paxolin, a kind of cardboard and resin composite, or is metal?
It does indeed look like a Spitfire seat, the framework shown flat below it would be mounted vertically to one of the fuselage frames in the aft cockpit area, and the handle on the right side would raise the seat up or down.

That's the flare cartridge rack, but it appears to have an extra row than normal, I wonder if that would give away the Mark type?
