I only intended to counter the negative views of the Beverley, not to suggest that it would make any 'Top 10'.

In Singapore, 66 Sqn Belvederes, decided that as a bit of fun they would hold a guest night in the back of (the flying longhouse) and this they duly did, although it was a bit cramped and everything slid down the back because of the angle (originally to accommodate a torpedo) - they didn't try to fly it but parked it so that the food was served from the kitchen in one of the hangars. Not to be outdone 34 Sqn (Beverleys) went one better and put a proper dining table in the hold and held a dinner whilst flying around. I don't think anybody tried it with a Belfast but you could have a summer ball in the back of a C17!!
