you are indeed correct. My mistake.
I also spent time at Farborough and Boscombe watching those trials and trying to put the leassons learnt into practice.
I was fortunate that all the "heavy" types I flew had rear facing seats down the back, or if not, at least 4 point harnesses. I think the best were in the old Farnbrough Commet, huge leather things they were!
Oh happy days,
appart from the wet drills in that cold outside pool on a cold winters day at Boscombe.
