The Howard 500 had a pressure cabin which spoilt the cockpit lines but gave it over the weather capabilities. Uprated DC-6B type engines were fitted which took the max cruise up to about 359 mph.

On a fine morning on the Dutch coast I managed to catch most of the Dutch Navy's types doing circuits. I made it back to my place near Heathrow in 3 hours from the Valkenburg approach on public transport though I had to run for the BEA Trident!

BEA experimented with regional divisions such as Scottish Airways a couple of years before it was absorbed into British Airways. Viscounts would still replace Tridents occasionally in the early Seventies
