Offset cockpits
Inspired by seeing the PR9... Does anyone remember why the Canberra B(I)8 and PR9, and the Sea Vixen, had offset cockpits?
May be a different explanation for each since the SV had side-by-side seating and the Canberra was tandem. Was it to provide the pilot with a view unobstructed by the nav's head? Or on the Sea Vixen, there was not enough length in the nacelle for tandem and side-by-side/same level would have been too much drag?
Or were they afraid that the nav would get distracted by the pretty clouds floating by?
