Jim

I have a feeling that you will like this web site 
http://www.classicflight.com/. I once spent couple of days flying in their 
DC-6 from Southampton (UK) to Le Havre (France) whilst it was loaded with 
cattle being exported. I am pleased to report that the cattle settled very 
quickly into the flight.
