Leased from British Air Ferries between June 1986 and September 1987. Note the Guernsey Post Office titles on the rear fuselage. This Viscount was previously BEA's G-AOYJ, sold to BAF in 1981 and reregistered in 1984.

slide scan from the NK collection. - Once a common visitor to Munich-Riem when in service with Condor, the oldest Viscount on the German register visited Bavaria again, this time being operated by a Swedish charter airline. - The airframe was last used by Hotair as G-BAPF and was retired in 1990. As a rescue trainer at Moreton-On-March it survived until 2017.

Photos of VH-TVC in Ansett-ANA markings are hard to find. Ansett-ANA received three of TAA's Viscount 720s in a lease exchange for two of its DC-6Bs. The exchange was forced on TAA by the government in an attempt to equalise the two fleets. TVC broke up over Sydney's Botany Bay on November 30, 1961 after flying into a storm soon after take-off.

I really like the civil exhibits in their correct historical looks. D-ANAF was delivered to Lufthansa in 1961 looking like this, the titles were updated around 1967. By january 1969 just 7 years after delivery it was taken out of service. It then became an instructional airframe for Lufthansa Technicians. First in Nora c/s then in several different Lufthansa c/s. I remember just being able to see it from the viewing area at Frankfurt in the early 90s. In 2012 it moved to the Museum at Speyer. Now it flies in close formation with the Lufthansa B747-200. They are the outdoor center piece here.

"Engine changeover in TAA hangar" according to our index card, but it looks like more than that.
