The Martin-Baker MB 2 was a British private-venture fighter prototype based on a simple basic structure that had been developed in the earlier MB 1 civil aircraft.
Although briefly evaluated as a fighter by the Royal Air Force, the MB 2 was limited in design potential and never entered series production.
Only one aircraft was built.
