Flew from RAF Birchanger to RAF Seletar, Singapore in one of these in 1963
This photo was taken later in 1963 at RAF Kuching from our Gun site at the edge of the runway

I smiled at Norfolkjohn's comment regarding the Bristol Britannia being a quiet aeroplane. We migrated to Australia in one in 1967 and it took me about three days before I could hear much again!
We left Heathrow and flew via Dubai, Colombo (Ceylon), Singapore, Darwin and landed in Melbourne 42 flying hours later! It was an ex-troop carrier on contract to the Federal Government, complete with backward facing seats!
