Join the Vickers Viscount Network
Vickers Viscount Network membership is FREE
Our museum is dedicated to preserve the memory of this ground breaking and highly successful British aircraft and has
members in over 21 countries. These members come from all walks of life - pilots to engineers, artists to authors,
computer programmers to pilots of computer simulators, airline passengers to plane spotters - whatever their interest
they all have one thing in common - the Viscount.

are available to Members and Non-Members
‘Virtual Club Room’
We have a wonderful network of like-minded people who are based all over the world. Many people these days have
Skype – a way of having FREE chats over the internet via your computer. Using Skype we
have created our ‘Virtual Club Room’ where like-minded people can chat about the Viscount or the Vickers Viscount
Network. Our 'Virtual' gatherings are very friendly and informal, and are open to both members and non-members.
The 'Virtual Club Room' is active if the Skype button on the grey panel to the right hand side of every page is Green
and Blue. To participate just press the Skype button and our host will welcome you to the club. Please ensure that
you have a microphone and speakers connected to your computer before you press the button.

subject will be whatever you have an interest in. The core membership is responsible for researching all aspects of the
history of the Viscount, locating documents’ and photos, writing and preparing newsletters, website development, public
relations, uniting old colleagues, solving mysteries, giving advice to model makers, providing data for authors, artists
and computer simulator programmers, etc.. Whatever your interest you will be most welcome.
Help make our project the foremost Viscount reference
There are no deadlines or anyone pushing for things to be done, each member just does whatever they can whenever they
can. Some members are only able to do a couple of hours each month while others put in many hours a week. We are
grateful for whatever our members are able to do to progress our project.
