In the Army Now - The joy of the Armed ForcesI've never been a soldier. I was an air cadet once, but that mostly involved sitting in a mouldy hut learning about aeroplane engines with the hint that one day we might go flying.
Yet, anyone who has spent time defending their nation, or at least drinking bromide-laced-tea for their nation, must have stories to tell. Tell them now.

Fair enough - I only did one training flight, and in civvy street in a tandem aircraft (a glider) - for that they made you sit up front.
Just seems to make sense - so the trainee can see what position the horizon is and so on in relativity to the aircraft, and also so the instructor see you fucking with anything you shouldn't do, dependant again on the front seat/rear instrumentation panel.
I am sure there is a good reason why its different in Chipmunks - anyone know?
