Can any ex RAF person or anybody settle an argument ❓ ❓ 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 ❓ ❓
There's a £5 pound note resting on this 😂
i looked everywhere and I can't find it anywhere. Sorry.
I search too.I feed all the search engines i have,i find a lot of articles about this aircraft but not something about pilots height.I think we must wait for a RAF pilot to answer this
