The modified cockpit of Comet F-ANPY with the enormous French radio located behind the pilot's seat.

This Flight drawing clearly shows the layout of the Comet’s cockpit, and of some of the equipment carried during the flight. Both pilots wore Irvin seat-pack-type parachutes. There is a small luggage space behind the rear seat. The main fuel tanks (128 and 110 gallons) are in front of the pilot, and there is a 20 gallon tank aft.
The Flight drawing refers to Comet G-ACSS at the time it was flown by A. E. Clouston with journalist Victor Ricketts on the record England-Australia-New Zealand flight in March 1938. Rickett's typewriter can be seen in the same position as the French radio set.
