Have to vote "Other" as I was brought up under the Chivenor approach watching Hunters plus the usual Battle of Britain Days (first flight in a Cambrian Airways' Rapide!) plus Airfix kits etc etc.

First real aircraft I worked on as an apprentice was the 1-11 on the Hurn line - still one of the most underated types as it brought jet travel to the majority of Europe AND the States. Funny thing is I'm still working on a 1-11 direct descendant all these years later (the CRJ series). Often wonder how an updated (say CF34-powered, current structural standards i.e. lighter) 1-11 would do in today's market.
