Re: Lancaster Harnesses / Lapstraps

Hipper

Thanks for the feedback on the pilot seat.

Photographs I have seen support the theory that the FE did not have any restraint on his fold down seat.

The position regarding the navigator and wireless operator seats is also unclear but current thinking is that there were no restraints, although one veteran believes there were lapstraps (and one photograph suggests that the navigator seat had a webbing strap of some description).

The assumption is the gunners had no restraints either.

Would be interested to hear from others

Regards

Pete
