The RAAF had two Viscounts for No 34 (Special Transport) Squadron based at Canberra and used primarily as VIP transports in the mid-1960's. I flew about 600 hours on them some of which was as QFI. Although heavy on the controls they were easy to land with a "soft" undercarriage which meant an average pilot could consistently make greaser landings. However, the cockpit layout was a nightmare of levers and switches all over the place and the view from the cockpit was limited because of the window design. A beautiful looking aircraft though.
