Photo Comment

This was the sixth from last of the 445 Viscounts built, registered G-ASDT by Vickers for the first flight in 10.63. Delivered to CAAC as B-408 and sold to HAECO as RP-C793 in 7.83, then being prepared for Bouraq. Looking splendid here just before hand-over, but written off after an engine fire on take-off at Banjarmasin on 28.8.92
