Two memorable flights on a DC3. My first flight was in 1972 as a spotty teenager from East Midlands, British Midlands first Boeing 707 was being delivered and as my Dad worked for them we were there to see it arrive. Kestrel Airways were doing pleasure flights on their DC3 and Dad managed to get a free ride. As he knew hostess, I got to go up the front, when I got there the captain was trying to get his pipe going, complete with handle bar mustache, when he finally got it going he opened the window and tossed the match out! The second was one quiet January evening at Luton, an Air Atlantique called up and asked if he could do a couple of circuits, which we approved. I cheekily asked if he had a spare seat, he replied he could take one. I won the toss arrived at the aircraft to find there was no seat, so I just stood in the doorway between the pilots. The Captain did say as they were only doing go-arounds he was happy for someone to stand up the whole time! Happy days!
