Anyone recall / participated in a Cranwell ‘expedition’ to the USA in 1965’ish. Two Britannia’s visited Washington via Gander, Norfolk, Omaha, and Colorado Springs – with a bit of an airshow? Return via New York and Gander.
IIRC one aircraft had a gear problem and the Atlantic leg was flown gear down.
The USAF could not understand the rearward facing seats.
