Worst aircraft I have been a passenger in.

I don't know about the best aircraft in service, but I do know the worst aircraft I have been a passenger in, the Beverley.

I used to be at a school near RAF Benson (Turners Court) in the early sixties, and used to watch these aircraft taking off, they always seemed to be struggling to get off the ground.

Aden 1967 I had the dubious pleasure of flying in one on an R&R flight to Mombasa, biggest sack of sh!te I have ever flown in.

Best aircraft I have ever flown in has to be the VC10, purely for the engine noise on take off/landing.

Happy days. John
