Only just seen this thread (typical ex-nav' I hear you cry!).
The snag of being single-seat is that you had nobody to admire your silky handling skills, and buy you a beer afterwards!
Almost 20 years ago Jag Mate off-spring took me up in a T2, only time I ever strapped into an ejector seat; Not my cup of tea I must say! I was frightened fartless, mind you I was used to his driving.
A few weeks ago I had an excited son on the phone ( the former Jag Mate one), he had just sat in on a Herc air test from Cambridge and couldn't believe his bum was parked on the same seat as his old man's had been 40 years ago!
