Bill: Spitfire Question

Tue Dec 11, 2007 6:42 pm

Hey Bill,

I could have PM'd you this question but I thought that it might be interesting for others to read.

And... I hope this hasn't already been covered on WIX before. I searched and couldn't find anything.

I am wondering what the rear cockpit of your Spitfire looks like. Does it have full instrumentation and controls? Or does it only have a basic panel with basic controls? Do you have any pictures of the rear cockpit?

As well, should I assume that whe it was used, the instructor sat in the rear?

Cheers,

David

Thanks,

Those are great pictures. It doesn't look like the back seat occupant would get a very good view out the front.

Cheers,

David

Neither does the front seat occupant. ;) Hence the curved approach.
