This picture shows clearly the cockpit configuration with the observer buried in the 'coal hole' lower, to starboard of centre and slightly aft of the pilot. The first Mk 2s had the original flush hatch to the observers cockpit. The humped version on this aircraft is the later standard frangible hatch which allowed ejection through the hatch. The flush version required jettisoning first. The lack of windows in this cockpit was required to keep the light level down and allow the dim radar screen to be visible. The frangible hatch made it viable to implement 'command ejection' where upon suitable selection in the cockpit, and as required, the pilot initiating his ejection would eject the observer first, no doubt with a surprised look on his face.
