I thought there was a shot of the pilot's head "rising up" in the Sky 1 canopy indicating a similar entry to the Angel pilots in Cpt Scarlet ie the seat rising up to lock into place with the pilot already installed. The Sky 1 fuselage is very deep around the cockpit so could allow this.
I always thought the Interceptors worked the same way, but have nothing to base that on.
At the end of the day it would be nice to think Derek Meddings thought of all this, but it's only sci-fi and probably not meant to be taken too seriously (sorry if that is sacrilege)
Cheers
