I understand your father's preference very well. He was quite right - twin prop. aircraft of the era (WW2 and post -war piston prop twins were lethal when things went wrong. Safety was never a consideration in the design of these machines, (Apart from the DC-3). Danny (and his generation) just accepted this as normal even tho' the test pilots at Boscombe, and elsewhere had described cockpit layouts of the time as "ergonomic slums". At this time of remembrance it is fitting that the the post-war carnage in the R.A.F. is also remembered.
