Cool vids, although neither was every built for comfort and I doubt was even on the list of considerations when they were being built. The 'crampedness' of the 109 was something we all noticed at Duxford last year when the 109 was lined up with the spits. As he says in the video though trying to open the canopy sideways on the 109 to get out I can see as being a reason why so many failed to get out.
As has been said he seems to compare technologies that are 70 years apart and as such are likely to be completely different. I've sat in F53 lightning and that was really cramped for a 60's fighter- so much so that if I'd have flown them and had to eject I would have chopped my legs off just above the knees!! Same goes for the Vulcan- for such a large aircraft the cockpit is extremely tight and I'd hate to think what it would be like in a full dome and flying suit! They're all war planes at the end of the day designed to do one specific job.
