Amazingly so, Richard. How they managed to go on long trips I have no idea, especially the 16-hour mission to the Falklands.

5 crew, but only the pilots had ejector seats. The 3 guys sat in the back had to hope they had a chance to bale out in case of trouble. Sadly on several occasions they didn't get that chance.


That must have been quite a sobering thought about the guys with just chutes, what a thought to have in your head at take off.

Could the front cabin guys get up and walk around aft at all, it makes me wonder how they managed to stay awake.

An honour to walk around such a significant historical warbird, I think they are prettier than Concorde that Delta is spot on.
