Thanks everybody for visiting and keep coming
Thanks Patrick for your post, I tried my best in squeezing as much info as possible into a space as small as possible, the good old table provided me with a solution. Main reason comes form the web hosting, the limit of which in terms of freebees is set to 7 pages.

Happy Flying!

Although overwholly narrow (one of the reasons why I picked up a seat next to the door), the aircraft provides for a nice surpise when seating. I would have loved to see how really looked the armchair shaped original stuff fitted in '37. Today's one are modern (either from a CRJ or Dash 8, forgot to ask, sorry)
Also a very good point is the single-seat rows ; so no unwanted neighboor as there is always the separation provided by the albeit narrow middle corridor !!! But the separation is there ...
And soundproofing fittings work well, probably too well, I hoped the old lady to be noisier. I got the impression I was right to avoid any of the 4 seats next to the wings, not because of the noise, but because of vision obstructed by the wings' surface. On the otherhand they allow a good view on the cockpit.
Globally, I rate the flight 10 / 10, definitly worth the try. I got an opportunity not to be missed. The aircraft is operated for funding some Charities and getting a seat on a go-show basis is usually hard.
