Curiosity question - there is the nose portion of a Lancaster at the Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Museum (the collection of the late Paul Allen - it's just a couple miles from where I live). You're not able to actually enter - just look from the rear - but it appears there is only one set of flight controls. Watching the Dam Busters movie it appears the same - only the left seat has flight controls. Really? Only one pilot, no relief (some of those bombing missions were quite long)? What if he got hit - is it game over and you hope you can bail out? Or can the controls be moved such as the guy in the right hand seat can take control?
