BRITISH AIRWAYS has donated Vickers Viscount c/n 7 G-AMOG to the National Museums of Scotland for display at the Museum of Flight, East Fortune, Scotland. The Viscount has been on external display at the RAF Museum Cosford, Shropshire, England since 2 May 1976 and has been subjected to a joint review by the museum's Board of Trustees and BA - British Airways.

An earlier statment from the RAF Museum said the review has arisen due to "future conservation and funding requirements, which have been highlighted as a result of recent exhibition developments at Cosford."

Geoff Want, British Airways' Director of Ground Operations, said that he was pleased that BA has been able to find a good home for 'MOG'. BA has developed a strong link with the Museum of Flight following the move of Concorde Alpha-Alpha from Heathrow to Scotland. He also said that he is sure that the Museum will give the same level of care to this historic aircraft as they have shown to the Concorde. These aircraft are an important part of the UK's aviation heritage and will hopefully add an extra interest to the museum.

G-AMOG and BAC 1-11 G-AVMO will be disassembled and re-assembled at their new home by Air Salvage International. The company worked closely with BA and the Museum during 2004 when it relocated Concorde G-BOAA. 'MOG' will be moving in August and will be 'reconstructed' in the Conservation Hangar in public view. Once completed it is hoped to find room to display the aircraft undercover.

The donation of these aircraft will greatly strengthen East Fortune's displays on the history of passenger aviation. The aircraft will complement the existing civil collection, which already included DH Comet 4C G-BDIX and Concorde G-BOAA. This move is in some ways appropriate as 'MOG' was at one time based at Prestwick, Scotland and named 'Scottish Prince'.
