R20 ...

BEagle is correct in saying that there was never a 3rd rear seat option for the RAF Bulldog. It was the Swedish variant that had the 3rd rear seat ... along with a few airframes equipped to fire rockets

More here ...

FPL 61C Bulldog - page 1

PS. Having seen a certain John Pr***e lash his kit down in the back of a ULAS Bulldog in the mid 70's ... It's clear the anchor points were of great utility

If my memory is correct, that early UHF lash-up BEagle mentions ... was exactly that ... the anti vibration mounts and restraining strap looked very much like an after thought mod
