slide scan from the NK collection. - Continental Airlines had 15 Viscounts in service, and Channel Airways acquired 11 of them in the years 1966 and 1967; even Continental's colour scheme was adopted. Viscount G-ATUE should serve for the British airline until May 1972, when it was retired at East Midlands. It supplied some spare parts for Alidairs Viscount fleet and was broken up in 1977.
