My "uncle" Ken "Boomer" Collins, a TN legend as some of the older gents in this location may recall loved the Leccy. Lockheed also asked him through TN top test how it would handle if props were placed into reverse in level cruise. TN agreed and Ken did too. Apparently it was interesting but not dangerous according to Ken, but this is a comment from a bloke who used to dive his Mustang to intercept V1 rocket bombs, get the wingtip under their stub wing and bank away thereby turning the bomb over and dumping it into the Channel.
It was a pilot's and FE's dream as he said.
My second ever flight as a spotty little Airline brat was SYD MEL on Tango Lima Charlie after a day in Sydney with my Dad who was a TN LAME.
Sat in the 1st class lounge at the rear.
Damned fine aeroplane is all I can think and after the pure grunt of Tango Juliet Alpha on my 1st ever flight that morning, I could still appreciate the refined class of the Electra. It made a nice sound all its own.
Best all
