You could well of, negative G is bl**dy awful, most I ever did was plus 7 and
Minus 1.5 i think it was in a turn, give me plus anytime… Was like going over the top on a fair ride big dipper with about 14 pints and a dodgy curry onboard.

A G suit wouldn’t do much unless a full body one, as it is to prevent blood pooling in the legs and away from the brain under positive G…. Under neg it is going to the brain, hence you red out as opposed to black out..

Was one reason Bader was supposed to be good in combat, no legs meant the blood couldn’t drain as much from the brain so he had in effect a g suit on so could withstand higher g loadings than the pilots he was up against so could turn harder.
