As a child, a flight in a DC-6 is one I remember, The aeroplane was empty, so we had the run of it. From the “posh” section, which was at the rear, with curved seating round the rear bulkhead, to the front. The intriguing sight of the red-hot glow of the exhaust system seen through the cooling gills on the cowling of the no. 2 engine, when it grew dark outside, has stayed with me.
it was top of my list of “planes I’d like to have flown”
