Much as I love the Herc, I wouldn't describe it as a treat, hot at the front or cold at the rear and the para seats are not comfortable after a couple of hours and let's not mention the toilet or noise.
My first posting in the RAF was to Honington shortly before the last Vulcan squadron shut down the departing fly past still brings me out in goosebumps. Loved the buccaneer as well, but the OPs choice takes a lot of beating.
