While I'm am SLF when I worked at LGW I managed to get a few flights, one of which was dead heading back from EMA on a Eastern Airlines DC-3.
It's flights like that I will always remember while trips like the northbound in a very cramped jump seat on a Short's Shed that I will forget.
While reading this thread it did cross my mind that if you approached these EU twit's and asked them to explain what a DC-3 and C-47 was they would not have a clue and would also think, even in basic terms, that they were two completely different types of aircraft.
