I think it must be increasing here - I was about to join in the discussion on
fitting into the cockpit, based on the fact that I have no problem at 6' 3",
only to find on checking that I appear to have lost 2 inches in the last ten
years - and having completed the Europa there are no problems weighing me
down (apart from keeping it straight). I will be able to fly inside the
Europa models at this rate !

Undoubtedly shorter - nearer the equator your velocity is higher, so
Einstein's follower Fitzgerald will ensure time is contracted, or mebbe it
will just seem so. Hope you started your atomic clock when the tail kit
arrived.
