411A - do you reckon the DC6 was better than the DC7C? That seems to have been pretty successful as the last of the big props. Long before my time, but an ex-colleague flew them with BOAC and the lifestyle they had back then was something which modern airliner drivers could only dream about!

Or were those massive engines just too complicated to be sufficiently reliable?
