Despite all the advances in airframe and seat design I believe (but
cannot prove) that rear facing seats are safer. The RAF certainly
believed it for many years. I can remember flying in a British Eagle
Britannia (as a civilian) which was primarily used for trooping
contracts and it had rear facing seats. That would have been the
late '60s at a guess.
