Now there's a name to treasure--based in the ( at the time ) old Terminal hangar at MAN---never flew in one but, after many attempts persuaded a very nice lady to allow a happy little spotter as I was then to look round one and my first ever visit to a commercial cockpit.
On a par with my sitting in a Vampire / Venom ? at the CAACU at Exeter (closely supervised by an engineer as I sat on the seat ! --I simply wandered over to the hangar and asked--politely) --nothing around like that now of course
As for Air Europe,
better not say really.
