"Baz, very quickly back to the oxy reg, bit of a daft question this, but in moving from the nav seat to the prone position, how did you manage at high alt before you plugged into the nose cone reg? Portable bottle or 'hold your breath?' I know it's not far as the crow flies between the two positions, but I was curious regardless."
If you are young and agile no problem! There is a long oxy pipe available for moving around and yes there is a regulator up front. Getting back to the rear cabin in an emergency and strapping back in can be a problem it depends how much time you have and how quickly you can do up enough straps to eject. There are 19 possible combinations of connections to be made, straps, plugs, dinghy etc but not all are needed to eject. The effects of violent aerodynamic forces however could make life very difficult indeed.
