Had one of both. Son first, maybe I was was at my virile FJ peak. Flew FJ until 50, now 64, still no bad effects, but by the grace of god.
I remember at Gutersloh in about 1975, a number of people checking out a Lightning cockpit in white suits. After using a geiger counter, they jumped out very quickly.
Never had any results and assume it was the few luminescent switches.
