Sorry to invade your thread Wayne, but I've got a question for Guttorm, which I'll forget if I don't ask now!
Did the smaller front bomb aimer's seat have a fold-down back rest to allow exit? I'm guessing it did, but need to know so that I can adjust mine accordingly for the belly-landed model.
 

you are quite right pal. on the later versions you could fold the entire seat..first the bak down over the seat and then the seat up against the wall.. on the very early A1 ( like ours ) one could only fold the back down over the seat..so they had to climb oover it. but in the A5 another adjusment was made so the entire seat folded up agains the wall
 
an a small note..when installling the bombadier seat you guys will notice tha its not level..its kinda tilted to one side-leaning towards the pilotseat.. this is actually correct for the original A1 on the A5 they had sortet that snag out and it was level
 
Thanks Guttorm. I'd built the folding seat on my 1/48th scale A5 conversion as you described, working from photographs, but had a feeling the earlier A1 was a back only folding part. Just got to decide whether or not to model evidence of the pilot's wounds on both seats now......
