They were, VV700 series, VV832 series, VV 816? series {I think} although all built by Mr. Vickers and Co, they were really totally different aircraft, from the cockpit, engines and radio/ navigation set ups, gross weights and speeds, the U/C Up/Down were two black buttons labelled "Chassis Up/Down! They were in fact so different that they were separate type ratings. DH Dove, DC3, DC4,and F.E on DC6, {a truly beautiful aircraft} F/O on C46, though I never got to fly it "on the line", but from what I heard I didn't miss much!, was scheduled to train on the Beech Queen Air, but returned to Canada when the layoff recalls started and hiring picked up .It all seems like yesterday, a sure sign of old age I fear!
