This Viking is ex-RAF XF640. In civilian life it flew with Overseas Aviation and Autair before being preserved at a cafe, on the roof of the old Schwechat terminal and then (in fake Austrian Airlines colours) at a McDonalds near the airport. It sitting here forlorn, although part of the Austrian Aviation Museum at Bad Voslau. It was later sold back to the UK. Let's hope it will be restored for static display.
