Please do try to coax/help your neighbour's story. I have a book by a former Beau observer and I would have been terrified to have been stuck under that dome halfway back, never mind the glasshouse effect under Med sun.
Re the story of the observer taking control, I think my old friend Maurice told me the seat back folded down. The pilot entered via the hatch, walked forward, then swung himself into his seat via the red handrails in the fine pictures on the previous page. Getting out in a hurry ... never thought about it, said Maurice. "We loved the Beau, once used to it we felt pretty safe as it was built like a brick s--thouse and it carried a mighty punch".
I'm away on yet another hol
and have been unable to log in from abroad, so may I belatedly congratulate you, Danny, on your recent milestone
