Pretty sure the RAF used to have a restriction on Fast Jets as they told me at Northolt I'd fail the medical due to the fact I am slightly over 6'2"
You would have had to have had some very unusual proportions to fail at 6'2". The tallest person to fly a Harrier is 6'6", and 6'4" is not uncommon. The exact measurements are:
Pilot:
Weight: 56.8 - 94.0 Kg
Functional reach (shoulders to thumb-tip):
740 - 900 mm
Sitting height: 865 - 1010 mm
Buttock knee: 560 - 660 mm
Buttock - heel: 1000 - 1200mm
