Prone position Meteor

The "prone position" or "prone pilot" Meteor at the RAF Museum, Cosford. This Meteor F.8 was modified for the RAF Institute of Aviation Medicine to use to evaluate the feasibility of a pilot flying an aircraft whilst lying down on his stomach, which was thought to enable the pilot to withstand higher G forces. This was found to be feasible but impractical, and the development of G-suits offered a better solution.
