Belfast Memories
Any military freight transport aircraft that has a spiral staircase to the flight deck just has to have a certain something about it, when added to the Minstrels gallery for conducting the massed choirs down the back and a flight deck big enough for a ballroom,you can understand why they built so many Ocean liners in Belfast. The inability to operate the GPU until the G/E or engineer left the aircraft to open various intakes, outlets and access panels seemed to a bit of a dis-advantage but having only flown fro Brize to Fairford on one they appeared to be a gentlemans aeroplane! And no, it didn't take very long.
