My father was an Elizabethan captain with Butler Air Transport in the 1950's and always said he found flying the aircraft a pleasure, he subsequently went onto Convair 240's and hated them.
His memory of the type was a large well functioning cockpit and a very smooth flight characteristics.
Butlers only returned the aircraft to England because they had been taken over by Ansett Airlines and the aircraft didn't fit Reg Ansett's plans, as were the two herons Butler also operated.
Butlers also lost their two Viscounts which were transferred to Ansett mailine.
As an aside my father still has a large original wooden model of the Elizabethan sitting on his television painted in Butler colours.
