Vikings G-AJDI and G-AJBY, Viscounts G-AMNI and G-AMOF, and an Airspeed Ambassador. Previously Volatile and Vitality, these Vikings were renamed Lord Keith and Lord Torrington in the 'Admiral Class', although it says 'Viking Class' on Lord Keith's nose here. The rather pompous BEA aircraft names were prefixed by 'RMA', for 'Royal Mail Aeroplane'.
