My one and only Viscount flight was with BAF, Manchester to Jersey (should have been Guernsey but that was fogbound). I proffered my PPL and asked the captain for the jump seat at MAN.
"We don't have one, but you can stand behind the copilot's seat if you like".
So I did. Takeoff to touchdown!
Came home on G-BMAP's jump seat (F27). How an aeroplane with half the number of Darts can be twice as noisy I don't know!
