Along those same lines, Boeing built two different configurations for the Stratocruiser FE position.UAL used a fwd facing station with mini panel that contained some fuel controls and elect/hyd functions. I believe this panel could swung in such away that the pilots would have access to these controls. Engine instruments were in front of the pilots, not the FE. There may have been one more additional operators with this config. (NWA??), but I'm not sure. When UAL sold their Strats to BOAC they were reconfigured by Lockheed Aircraft at Idelwild before entering service with BOAC. This was a huge and very expensive undertaking. If you're ever in the 2501 Building (former train center) in Renton you can see a picture of one of these FE station aberations.
