From an F4- Rio

Quote:

F-4 Phantoms have a Command Selector Valve in the RIO's Cockpit.
When stowed in the normal (vertical) position, the RIO ejects
separately if he initiates ejection. The position of the valve was
an item to be decided upon prior to flight.
Once experienced, we Navy RIO's always flew with it in the Command
(horizontal) position, so if we deemed it necessary to leave, the
front seat was going momentarily thereafter. Sometimes a pilot might
object, but most like me insisted that we also have command.

Not an object of discussion in the front seat. If he pulled the
plug, we RIO's always went 3/4 second ahead of him. It was a nice
option for pilots with student RIO's, and non-RIO's in the back seat,
but once crewed together in a squadron, I for one insisted that any
pilot trust my judgement too.



Not sure which seat is in above picture of phantom you showed , but this pic from a seat removed from a UK phantom has another activator handle between the legs.

Some 1:1 Flypast Info that might be of interest this long weekend:

Red Arrows: https://www.military-airshows.co.uk/...hedule2022.htm

Also a lot also about for the midlands air show, including a Lancaster, but I can’t find the flight plan for that.

This one looks interesting, no price given yet, or exact release date.

I like the look of that for sure.....
..... I think it'll be quite pricey mind,but I do like Gecko's stuff

I know I’ll be getting one — these were used in my area to land troops across the Western Scheldt at Vlissingen, so it shouldn’t be missing from my collection of locally used vehicles …

Funnily enough, I thought about this just the other day, when I realised I have two 1:76 scale LCA’s from Milicast that I never did build, so I was thinking to do those sometime soonish. Two days later, I see the 1:35 version that I was musing about, is going to come out

Boxes say " contains parts to build one of each model " - one obstacle per box?
Dave

[The Smythe Meister]

I'd say it's 1 "set" as shown on the box Dave?... IE 5 items,as there are 5 examples shown on each box ?!
