I understand both the Swordfish and Albacore were used a light bombers as wll.

well, it was the swordfish more than the albacore, they were used as carrier born torpedo bombers, but towards the end of the war they were used on D-Day as well.......................
 
I had heard somewhere that a pilot was supposed to be able to handle a 12G pullout since the G-forces would be going through his chest, front to back, rather than up and down.
 
I've been in a low-powered centrifuge. It only pulled 3Gs but sustained it for a few minutes. It's a pretty weird feeling.
 
i wouldn't mind giving it a go, but C.C, u realise that as you're taller you, in theory, wouldn't be able to pull more G's than the rest of us..............
