What types indeed looks good to me? When I worked for Big Airways a long time ago (24 years), one of my colleagues was sent on a Concorde course two years before he was due to retire. He had over 45 years in the business at the time and we asked him what was the first aircraft he had worked on. "Ah that'd be the Graf Zeppelin" he said "We were in the Boy scouts and we were rounded up to man the mooring ropes at Croydon when the Zeppelin paid a visit." Quite a span eh? His first fixed wing licence was on the De Havilland Rapide, but he's gone fishing now, bless him.
