Quite right - utter bolleaux. The rear seat guys NEVER had ejection seats in any V-bumbler. The worst was the Vulcan. In the circuit we flew it with the gear down throughout; hence if a sudden "Oh bug.ger" were to happen, the gymnastics required by the lower deck folk to escape splattering themselves on the noseleg as they bailed out of the hatch were very demanding and they would have been very lucky to survive. The lack of downstairs bang seats was a scandal which should have been addressed many, many years before the final RAF Vulcan shut down for the last time..... That was demonstrated at London Airport when the very first Vulcan, returning from a tour of the far East with the AOC (quite legitimately) in one of the pilots' seats pranged into a cabbage field in the undershoot in poor weather. Only the 2 pilots in their bang seats survived, the others died horribly and publicly in front of the assembled media when the aeroplane went in almost vertically.....
