Hang on a mo, I've been reading this thread and focussing on the "who could have done what better" aspects and then a lightbulb went on in my head: just how small is the rake on FR, how tall is this lad and how thick was his cast? Why do I ask? Because my missus is 6' 2" (yep, you guessed it, she's Dutch) - and her right knee has been fused straight (okay, 2 or 3 degrees bent max) since she was a teenager. Now, we regularly sleazy it between AMS, BRS and so on and she can happily (okay, only just, but without discomfort) fit in one seat, let alone three. And no, she doesn't normally sit in the aisle seat and "cheat", as she appreciates that would be dangerous to her and everyone else, she sits with her right leg correctly under the seat in front of her.
