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.
