This was the first production Viscount, delivered to BEA on 3 January 1953. It is making a courtesy visit to Ringway, when I was allowed to walk out onto the main apron for this photo which shows the 1939-built Hangar No.6 in the background. The aircraft crashed on finals to Ringway on 14 March 1957 - see other photo.

A cabin interior of the mid-1950's. BEA's Viscount 701 fleet had a mixture of forward and rear facing seats, as shown in this view looking rearwards down the cabin. Three seats on the port side and two seats on the starboard. Typical seating and net luggage racks with no doors. Ventilators in the cabin sides. All very period!
