    Could it be for the back seat of a training aircraft? What did the rear cockpit of a Wyvern look like?

    Also on the list should be the Spartan Cruiser (the one from Cowes IOW, not the one from across the pond).

    See my post above.;)

    Also, Liberators flew from Tain, Harrows kept the Northern Isles in touch with the civilised world throughout the war years, and Spartan Cruisers ventured north of the Highland Boundary Fault from time to time.

    The Lightning must have equalled the Sea Vixen in the length of time that it took to reach front line service.

    Can you blame Churchill for the amphibious operations in Norway?

    When he is First Lord of the Admiralty, yes.
