dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) Great shots of a beautiful aircraft. I was lucky enough to be present when the very last passenger carrying Viscount arrived at Heathrow. Loads of spotters there watching her come in, then some wandering bimbo comes up and says "is it something special then?" I don't know how she must have felt when around 100 pairs of disbelieving and hostile eyes fixed on her with pity!

rosariomanzo 545 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Alan, these photos are amazing, I can almost hear the sound of the Dart turbines. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 She is a great bird, and one of the most successful of British produced aircraft. Great shots! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) fast forward to 10:05 to see her arrival. I was stood with all the other spotters just by the crossing point where the traffic was held. it can be seen behind the aircaft after she parks. They also taxied a resident Bristol Freighter round to park alongside her. Edited October 10, 2016 by dodgy-alan 1 Link to post Share on other sites

dogtrack 345 Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Used to travel to Belfast (Nutts Corner) as a kid to see my grandparents on the Viscount; which took over from the DC3 (Cotton Wool & Barley Sugar sweets were the order of the day, thank you BEA). 3 Link to post Share on other sites
