Many moons ago BOAC wet leased a Seaboard and Western L-1049D Connie for service to Bermuda from KIDL. Being a convertible cargo-pax aircraft the interior was Spartan. BOAC had not noticed there were only about five window to each side behind the curtains but the passengers did. To continue the lease BOAC required S&W to get an L-1049E-01 which they did from Cubana. It was converted in stages to an all coach configuration.
After a spell sitting atop a gasoline station for some years it has ended up at Dover AFB masquerading as a C-121 in their museum.
Windows do count.
