Photo Comment

This Viscount had a long and productive life as it was originally delivered to BEA in July 1958. As well as Virgin Atlantic, it also flew with BKS, Cambrian, Northeast, British Airways, BAF, and British World before becoming the last airworthy Viscount in the UK. It was bought by Heli-Lift in June 1997 and exported to Southern Africa where it flew for several carriers before being stored at Kinshasa (FIH) and scrapped in July 2008.
