It also had a black painted cockpit that was very dark and easy to lose things in!!!
Amen to that! I was a liney on NF11's in Germany '56. The oxygen economiser was under the seats and an absolute pain to change. I once dropped a 4ba nut in the process and dully reported it to the F/Sgt. ''Don't worry lad'' he said, ''I don't want that aircraft 'til tomorrow morning, you've got all night to find it!'' Which I duly did.
First aircraft I ever flew in.
Apologies for thread drift.
