Wiley and Kookabat
I only flew Lancs from the right hand side and so wore the chest type harness but I am pretty sure that the seat type was worn on the left. I do remember talking to a Lanc pilot who said that he always wore the chest type even though he had to take his own cushion along as he said it was almost impossible to climb over that main spar in a hurry even when the plane was immobile on the ground.
Disregard that flying from the right. I can't remember ever flying a dual control Lanc. I think that I used to demonstrate whatever from the left and then sit in the F/E 's seat when the other chap was flying. I may be wrong but has anyone experienced flying in a dual Lanc, or Halifax for that matter? Reg.
