I flew in a Dan-Air Ambassador in 1968 (ish) London Gatwick to Ostend, return. it was the first time I can remember flying, although I went to Jersey on a BMA Herald the year before. I cannot remember the interior colour, but i do remember clouds of smoke on starting, and a guage on the nacelle side, which my dad told my (I think jokingly) was the fuel guage!

The return flight was delayed by engine trouble at Ostend (6 hours I think) but the Ambassador has always been a favourite ever since. Happy days of seeing Autair ones flying at Luton too 🙂
