I made two journeys in RAF troop carrying aircraft - to and from the
Falkland Islands. One was a converted BAC VC-10, the other a
converted Lockheed L-1011 TriStar. All the seats faced backwards.

There was a time when BCAL had some BAC 1-11 with all-backward facing
seats, which they mainly used for trooping contracts to Germany. They
occasionally got used on regular services as well, like
Gatwick-Manchester.

The Tridents used by BEA had about half the seats facing rearwards,
those at the front half of the aircraft, with the rear half facing
forwards.
