I had the dubious pleasure of flying Viscounts with Ansett from intake in 63 till 67....the cockpit was an ergonomic disaster!!
The a/c flew all the mainline ports including ADL-PER on occasion which according to Bill Kennedy our Nav Officer was the longest Visc run in the world.
Other ports serviced were Wynyard, Devonport,Mt Gambier,Alice Springs,Tennant Ck,Longreach,Mt Isa,Rocky,Mackay,Townsville,Cairns,Canberra and occasionally Cooma.
Even did a special into Mildura once.
A dreadful a/c for the tropics.
AN had 3 models..720c(ex TAA)..747(ex Butler) and the 810/832.
