Country: | If you really wanted to die in Bomber Command it would have to be the Fairey Battle, don't use the Whitley- they were good IMO, better than Hampdens anyway

Zenos has a video that shows a normal bailout and the pilot clears by 5 or so feet. Also the enevator is not only at the same relative height to the cockpit/wing as other fighters it is further away from the trailing edge of the wing giving added clearence. A good place to see this is the Planes and Pilots of WWII web page and the "Is Size a Dissadvantage" article. The P-38 is dangerous to bail out of rumor is just a rumor and thats all!

Country: | Go on then, you first
Anyway...
I'd take a 100 Group Serratte Mossie or Beau to take out LW nightfighters.
If I wanted to kill myself ( which I don't ) I'd take a Battle at low level over France in 1940

Country: | I don't want to kill myself, I was just making suggestions. Anyway I would agree about taking a Battle in at low level over France in 1940, you would be almost certain to be shot down and at least injured.
And as I said earlier in this thread I would fly a Mossie (NF or Intruder).
