  1.  @patrickradcliffe3837  quite so. If the Centaurus was tried and tested it would have been used, but - it wasn't. And this was a modern bomber, being a tail dragger doesn't make you old fashioned. Please tell us Aftastos who you design aircraft for, then we can look at your genius.

  2.  @stevetournay6103  That would be awesome Steve; I saw Vera flying with our other Lanc when she visited maybe ten years ago. A vic of three - my knees might go a bit weak!

  3.  @EdNashsMilitaryMatters  Just Jane is looked after by lincsaviation, plus a chap called Neville Wheeldon does an almost weekly YT vlog about the stages of her restoration. We were lucky enough to afford a taxy ride in her last month!

  8.  @neutronalchemist3241  drag on the pilot, and lots of it, so they decelerate quicker than gravity can drag them down, especially if the emergency exit was topsides, the crew would be above the main wing as they can't fall through it can they, so maybe in a fighter plane no more than 1.5 metres before they pass the tail planes. The poor buggers didn't fall enough to miss the tail planes.. There are enough accounts of air crew hitting the rear tail fins, even in RAF night bombers, to make this not an unusual event.

  9.  @WALTERBROADDUS  usually the thinner parts of the plane were to the rear - the engine was much bigger than the typical empennage.

  12. Another great story. There's a silly part of me that wants a combat flight sim which captures that amazing 1930s period with all these oddities in it, like the Heinkel bomber you showed here. If I win the lottery I might be in touch with you Ed......

  13.  @pickeljarsforhillary102  so the Tuskegee airmen are a tale? What a good place to air your opinion, I bow to your superior intellect and wit.
