Was that one of the first, if not the first, aircraft to be fitted with ejector seats?

Yes Paul. Herr Heinkel was at the cutting edge. The very first, by compressed air. Ejection seats took about five more years to evolve.
A beautiful design but apparently underpowered. They tried screwing a jet engine under the fuselage but the increased drag offset the extra thrust.
I once had a 1:72 model of the Uhu.

I am back in the Retro Children's Library it seems.
My elder daughter gave me the following for Father's Day:
Five Go on a Strategy Away Day
Five Go Parenting
Five Go Gluten Free (does it prohibit ginger beer?)
Five Lose Dad in the Garden Centre (I once lost once of my daughters and had to reclaim her from Customer Services)
