Nothing quite so luxurious on any of the machines here unfortunately :sad:

Mind, the 747s that bring a load of the cargo in from the states (via Brussels) have either bunks or proper beds. 'Tis the only way to travel :dance:

First time I got into a 8 cockpit the thing that suprised me was mirror to read the Stby Compass located in the ceiling behind the drivers seats

Oh, you mean the skipper -wasn't- checking a zit / boil / etc?!

There was another one, rearward facing, in the same fairing on the ceiling, makes life a bit easier figuring out where you are instead of having to wake up a driver to ask him :dance:
