Does anyone have access to / knowledge of the RAF definitive Anthropometric limits for the JP3/4 whilst in service? Or advice where I can get them please...

Am instructing someone in a JP4 with live seats and concerned about one aspect. If it turns out he is out of limits, not the end of the world for them since a Plan B would be to use a Mk5 instead with inert seats.

Thanks in advance... Replies here would be great, and/or via PM.

Sitting Height:
Min - 860mm
Max - 1040mm

Functional Reach:
Min - 700mm

Buttock-Heel Length:
Min - 980mm

None of the above are stipulated for escape reasons.
