It would suck if you had to get attacked with all that extra weight moving around back there. Not to mention if you where afraid of tight spaces.

That was very interesting material. I didn't know the bit about the personnel transfers in the aircraft before.

It would suck getting shot down and not being able to get out.

Doesn't look very comfortable, especially on a long flight; especially the guy who has to stand up the whole time right behind the pilot!

I remember seeing that displayed in the movie "BoB". Could the Hurricane carry someone like that as well?

Love the boots..

... great for walking on aircraft to give the wingroots that much-beloved "weathered" look!
