Aircraft Summary

Photo of Viação Aérea São Paulo SA (VASP) Viscount PP-SRF
Viação Aérea São Paulo SA (VASP)

This aircraft c/n 400, a V.827, was built for Viação Aérea São Paulo SA (VASP) as PP-SRF and first flew on Saturday, 6 December 1958 at Hurn, Bournemouth, Hampshire, England.

During its life it was also owned and/or operated by Primeras Lineas Uruguayas de Navegacion Aerea (PLUNA)

Its final owner/operator was Museo Aeronáutico - Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya as CX-BJA.

Its fate:-

Withdrawn from service by Primeras Lineas Uruguayas de Navegacion Aerea (PLUNA) in March 1982 and stored at Carrasco Airport, Montevideo, Uruguay.

Donated to Museo Aeronáutico - Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya 24 September 1984. It remained stored minus engines within the PLUNA maintenance area. Repainted in the latest PLUNA Boeing 737 fleet livery and put on display next to the terminal building in May 1990. By this time it had its engines and propellers refitted. Moved to a different area 15 November 2004. Moved to a grassy area in March 2005.

PLUNA ceased operating in July 2012. Moved to a storage ramp area in 2015.

Moved to a secure ramp area controlled by the Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya (Uruguayan Air Force) 29 July 2017 and parked next to the Museo Aeronáutico hangar. Sadly, the interior had been vandalised and robbed during the years of storage in the grassy area near the perimeter fence. Volunteers from the Asociación Amigos del Museo Aeronáutico together with the help of Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya (Uruguayan Air Force) personnel then started a slow process of restoring the interior of the aircraft including an extensive rebuild of the cockpit. At some point in the future the aircraft will be repainted in an authentic PLUNA livery.
