Vickers Viscount pilots, cabin crew and engineers.

The Viscount is my favourite aeroplane. Although I never had the opportunity to fly on one, I believe it is still largely held in high esteem by professionals who worked with the aircraft. I would be interested to read any stories from such folk. Was it a good pilot's aeroplane or was it a pig to fly ? Was the impact of four Dart engines at full tilt an issue in the passenger cabin or barely noticeable ? An engineer's dream or nightmare ?

My Viscount experience is limited to seeing numerous examples from Northeast, BA, BMA and BAF at Leeds Bradford over the years. Plus the occasional Dan-Air machine too. It would be nice to add to that experience with some hands-on stuff too. Thankyou.
