I had the pleasure of flying on a Super Connie from San Diego to Hawaii in
the 50s -- like seeing a *huge* swan - very few airplanes compare to the
Connie in the looks dept! IMHO if course.

Do you mean the Comet 4? Along with the American Super Constellation, two
of the most beautiful aircraft in the world, IMNSHO!
Viscounts corroded and failed in flight, one on finals at Heathrow,
(anyone
remember the Hawaiian airliner that lost its' roof?) and Comet Two's
suffered catastrophic fatigue failures whilst pressurized, introducing the
world of aviation to ROUND or OVAL windows with no stress risers. Please,
if you are going to take shots at British Aviation, be specific!
