Awaiting delivery to Invicta on 2nd May 1972. Note the tail titling "Rolls Royce VC9". This had read "Roll Royce V952 Prop Jet" while with its previous operator, Thor Cargo, and is one of the few references to the post-war civil design designations used by Vickers with the Vanguard being the "Vickers Commercial 9". The Viking having been the VC1 and the system more commonly known for the VC10. To EAS as F-BXOH in November 1975 and used for spares at Perpignan.
