britfrog 180 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 +1 A beautiful machine and should be restored. Thanks Nigel, Did you ever get a trip in one? No I didnt all the transatlantic stuff back then was on the stratocruiser and then DC7 and DC7C before changing to the Brittania and then the 707, My father told me they were evil planes , in heavy weather it required both crew at the controls to keep it straight and level and later on when the turbo compound engines came out they ha lots of problems with them as well. My wife flew in them to the far east and liked them. Link to post Share on other sites
