Viscount Histories told in Photos

The story of each Viscount is as varied as the number of aircraft built. Some like G-AOXU c/n 248, and G-BFZL c/n 435, had long and varied careers. Others like VH-TVG, c/n 84, had loyal careers with only one owner. Some however had very short careers like AP-AJE, c/n 337, that crashed after only 5 months service.

Select an aircraft by either entering its construction number (1-459) or by entering one of the registrations it used during its life. Some registrations were allocated to more than one aircraft and are marked *. Displayed will be all the photos that we have on file for that aircraft. However, the photo history may be incomplete, so any help you can give in completing it will be appreciated.
