Bristol Beaufort T II
A bit of a long short; a contact I had in the Fleet Air Arm in WW2, was taken for a flight in a Beaufort that was attached to HMS Raven. It was just two on board when on of the Bristal Taurus Engines burst in to fames and as they were not far from the airfield the pilot made a hasty retreat and landed okay. The point is that my contact swears that he was sitting next to the pilot for the flight and not in the nose. So did the T Mk II in FAA service allow for a dual pilot position or at least a seat next to the pilot, even if there were no controls?
