Richard and Dick

[Flapping_Madly]

Many years ago on the TV I saw a programme about two designers --Richard and Dick --who had designed a new aircraft seat.

Anyone know what happened to it ?

I recalled this in a conversation today about aircraft seats and how much effort Monarch must put into getting the most uncomfortable seats I've ever sat on.:ouch:

Don't know what happened to the seat. Probably too radical for the conservative airline industry. However, the designers are still at it. Check them out at www.seymourpowell.co.uk

I remember the seat. Clever design where the entire seat moved as one on a cradle allowing more leg room when required and far greater recline without impacting space of the others seats to any extent - rather like my daughters child seat as it happens. I suspect the airlines didnt want to blur the lines between those up front and them in the back.
