Pilot height - RAF

verygom · Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2005 8:29 pm Post subject: Pilot height - RAF

Can any ex RAF person or anybody settle an argument Question

Was there ever a height restriction on pilots to fly the English Electric Lightning swept wing fighter and if so was this due to ejection seat design Question

There's a £5 pound note resting on this Laughing
