I do love the Connie.
Mind you, I had a good look round the Red Bull ("The Flying Bulls") DC-6 at Duxford last year; that is one beautiful aircraft as well (and I don't wax lyrical about nosewheel aircraft too often).

The last/only DC6 I have ever flown in was standing room only.

A chap I know won just over £5M and went public. They got bombarded with mail and people at the door. They ended up moving house, but not by choice.

I'm sure Mrs Connolly with soon get fed up!
