A wonderful aircraft! Yes the overhead lockers were small but the high wing made it very good for the regional flights it was designed for with short simple steps.
Most of my flights were with Manx Air (both editions!) as my mother and her husband retired to the Isle of Man. They lived in Castletown on the southern tip of the island, very close to Ronaldsway. We had Viscounts on the LHR route for a number of years but G-OJET started in December 1987. I know this because I was on it! Really by chance. I had booked a Friday midday flight as it was obviously cheaper than the evening. The 146 was scheduled to make it's first official flight that evening. But it was also on the midday rotation - pax got champagne. After the noise of the Viscounts, it was bliss and the high wing gave great views as BonnieLass illustrated.
I'll follow up later with other trips on this smashing machine.
