Hi Tania,

Thanks for your previous comments about my UFO model BTW.

You are completely correct, of course, that for the viewer it should
never matter. However, I intend to address this on my model and wanted
to make sure I didn't contradict any existing documentation.

Besides, a bit of sacrilege never hurt anyone. Well ... leaving aside
the Spanish Inquisition, and certain over-zealous fundamentalist ..
<<perhaps I should just shut up>>

Cheers,

Kevin

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
Tania
