My first ever flight was in a Viscount - BEA G-AMOH in 1960 & the next in G-AOFX, from Guernsey to Jersey return. After that, I flew on them many times, including all of BEA’s 806s ( several times each) & most of the 802s. Only one international route, ELLX to EGLL. All the others were domestic - mostly out of Guernsey & Jersey to EGLL & HI with BEA/BAW. But, also out of EGKK with BUA on 700 & 800s ; & flights to EGMC with Channel Airways on the 700 & 800. Must have made about 100 flights in all. Wonderfully comfortable a/c & very scenic views from those large windows. 4 darts never caused any noise issues for the pax. No vibration either, unlike the Vanguard !
