To quote Tom Neil, famous Battle of Britain and Malta Hurricane pilot, and later flyer of Mk V and Mk XII Spitfires on ops:

Quote:
"... the pilot strapped himself in using his Sutton harness - left shoulder, right leg, right shoulder, left leg - which were secured in the area of his tummy by an outsize peg which went through a hole and was kept in place by a split pin; the more familiar quick release box was not available until much later in the war. Inertia straps also being a gadget of the future, he then would flick up his harness release toggle, enabling him to lean forward and adjust instruments, or whatever."
Nuff said. You ulterior agenda boys have really gotta try harder, you know.
