First flight ever was BFS-IOM on a Viscount.
Later I worked as a despatcher at BFS with lots of antique prop-jobs on freight (Merchantman, Argosy, Herald, Viscount, CL-44, Belfast, Dakota, Heron(!), Bandeirante, Partenavia P68, various Cessnas) but we also had regular passenger Viscounts to Jersey. When Balkan's TU-134 failed it was replaced by an IL-18 on several occasions, obviously behind schedule and an unexpected treat for the prop enthusiast holidaymaker but a bit of a bind for everyone else.
