I've written before about being in Edinburgh in the 1970s when the new runway was planned and built (in surprisingly short time compared to how these drag on for years nowadays). It was strongly...

Bit late to this. I suspect accounts of changed engines are what was done on the Viscount fleet.

The six 951s were built first, in 1959, and for some reason hung around until 1961 to be delivered....

A whole range of types and carriers have configured a small number of rearward facing seats over time. Southwest in the USA used to rig out all their 737s with two or three such layouts in the cabin,...
