A bit of a diversion - Lancaster seat restraints
Sorry to interrupt the flow but there is a question circulating on other forums about whether any of the seats fitted on the Lancaster (or any of the heavy bombers) were fitted with harnesses or lapstraps.
The question started with whether the fold down "second dickey" seat had one, but the question has widened from there.
Can any of the veterans assist with this question? If the answer is there were no restraints (which is current thinking) how did the crew cope with a corkscrew?
Any help to solve this mystery would be brilliant
