Never mind that, just think of the passengers watching and not knowing what's happening.

Built in the '80s to a 1960s design, this is a plane that first turned up for work when Prime Minister Harold Wilson wore a Gannex raincoat and the first coat of paint was still wet on Coronation Street.
But when the daily remit is multiple short hops between tiny bumpy strips in a climate that flickers from the blustery to the apocalyptic, this sturdy little craft is hard to beat.'
