Any ideas as to the type of aircraft it from, obviously not a single seat fighter.

Is it a JU88 navigators seat ?
The long runners also might mean its a rear facing seat, ME210 ?

It doesn't look like the seat was designed for the occupant to be wearing a seat type or backpack style parachute.

Mike

The bottom tray has a dip in it that would allow for a seat type parachute, though i agree its not very deep.

That would most probably be for the seat cushion.
