Prior to Douglas as it was when I joined, I worked at DeHavilland Aircraft Canada.
Both these companies have gone. The whole plant of McDonnell, later Boeing has been razed to the ground.
DeHavilland is now Bombardier.
Deleted! Just reread the post, it wasn't interior, it was inboard (on a wing mount). That would be something to see!. Anyone have a picture of that (three engines on a DC-10's wings)? I would not have guess or comprehend the aircraft ferrying an extra inboard wing mounted engine WITH passengers. No, not in all the years of being either a passenger at many civ/mil airfields, or cargo courier in various aircraft.
