During my time on the 332L and then as pax going to man an offshore based a/c I noticed that there has always been self selection of where one sat. This was done by arranging one's position in the crocodile going out to the a/c! One favourite seat being the single by the door.
As I type this they haven't found the tail. The 332L didn't have a float bag in the tail - does the 332L2.
