I had occasion a couple of years ago to fly on a Royal New Zealand
Airforce Andover aircraft.  It's civilian designation is a
Hawker-Siddley 748.  It's passenger seating was all rear-facing.

It took some getting used to.  It's unusual looking out the window
and watch the landscape moving backward.

I've also ridden in it's paratroop contiguration.  We sat on
long bench seats running the length of the cabin.  The restrains
were unusual: seatbelts plus a nylon net wrapped around my
forward-facing side.
