I have only enjoyed two flights where the seating was worthy of mention. The first was because there was no seats for the passengers and we had to lie on the floor for the T/O and landing. It was a test flight in an Avro Lincoln. It also stood out as the noisiest by far. The next one only had two spare seats and I had to sit sideways for the T/O and landing. For the landing I sort of had a choice of over 30 sideways seats because all the other passengers had jumped out. That was a USAF Fairchild C119 Packet dropping paras over the Gower Peninsula (Fairwood Common). We also flew alongside another C119 while it dropped a Landrover. I had a bit of a fright on the landing. I had never experienced reversing propellers before and I initially thought that the nose wheel had collapsed.
