Ex 2 Air Navigation School. Struck Off Charge in November 1967 and relegated to the dump at Gaydon, later scrapped.

Location unconfirmed, probably Bahrain or Sharjah.

Originally registered as G-AHPB. Fake registration D-BABY applied (original D-BABY was Vickers 621C Viking 2, c/n 150). The pictured Viking was trucked to the Museum in June 1988 and assembled over the following weeks, but the planned projects were not feasible. There are no records of what happened next, but as far as it is known, the aircraft was dismantled by 1991 and most of it was scrapped. A section of the left wing with the engine and the gear was put on display in a hairdressing salon (Marcos hAirbase) in downtown Zurich until the end of January 2018. The engine has found an unknown admirer.

Used by the fire section as 7476M. The Hunter is possibly an F1 previously with the local ATC squadron, but no identity is known. (Info is from the 1968 third edition of Wrecks & Relics with the location as Locking.This photograph was taken on the Weston-super-Mare airfield.)

This Viking is ex-RAF XF640. In civilian life it flew with Overseas Aviation and Autair before being preserved at a cafe, on the roof of the old Schwechat terminal and then (in fake Austrian Airlines colours) at a McDonalds near the airport. It sitting here forlorn, although part of the Austrian Aviation Museum at Bad Voslau. It was later sold back to the UK. Let's hope it will be restored for static display.
