Just an observation, there were no ww2 spitfire two seat trainers and thousands of pilots were trained to fly them, and the Luftwaffe did have two seat 109's and 190's for a reason.

Personally I have often wondered why the RAF didn't have trainer versions. The jump from a Harvard to a Spit/Typhoon/whatever is a serious leap and a two seat version for at least the first say three - five flights makes sense, just to make sure they remember all the drills and can handle the extra speed.
