I flew on an Air Bridge Merchantman on a familarisation flight from EMA-Cologne-EMA utilising the Flight Engineers seat. I did not stop smiling for a week-all those switches, dolls eyes displays, dials. A real mans aeroplane and none of this "girly" glass cockpit nonsense!!
I have to ask "what Flight Engineers Seat"
There was no provision for a Flight Engineer on the Vanguard.
In fact your company flew them as they were intended with only two crew. Unlike my company where the pilots were frightened by the thought of "only" two crew & flew with three pilots even as a freighter!!
Best seat in the house, higher than the other two & unable to reach anything!!
