A lovely aircraft to fly and I especially liked the "soft" undercarriage. A heavy landing was hardly felt and normal landings made one feel like an ace.

I recall, however, that a survey carried out among Viscount crews many years ago showed that due to the extremely untidy cockpit layout, there were more mistakes made in switch selection than on any other contemporary type.
