I liked the Illyushin IL-18 - I remember seeing a cutaway artwork from the
late '60's - beautiful work and a beautiful-looking aircraft. Another
Turboprop I liked was the Lockheed L-188 Electra, but my favourite passenger
plane of all was the Lockheed Super Constellation - TLAR (That Looks About
Right) at it's most majestic and a flying work of art - beautiful machine.

The Whispering Giant. I remember it well.

Or as it was known on the verseas stations of the RAF. "The whimpering
giant, with 4 Protesting (Proteus) engines - around the world in 80 delays.
And there's another U/S Britannia on the pan"
