Aircraft Summary

Photo of British European Airways Corporation (BEA) Viscount G-AMOG
British European Airways Corporation (BEA)

This aircraft c/n 7, a V.701, was built for British European Airways Corporation (BEA) as G-AMOG and first flew on Wednesday, 11 February 1953 at Weybridge, Surrey, England.

During its life it was also owned and/or operated by Cambrian Airways, British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC), British Airways (BA) and the RAF Museum Cosford

Its final owner/operator was National Museum of Flight as G-AMOG.

Its fate:-

Donated by British Airways (BA) and displayed as part of the British Airways collection at the RAF Museum, Cosford Airfield, Shropshire, England and delivered 2 May 1976. Repainted in early BEA red stripe livery in 1980.

Donated to the National Museums of Scotland for display at the Museum of Flight, East Fortune Airfield, Scotland and moved in August 2006.

Currently stored in a dismantled condition with the fuselage under cover pending funds to allow a full restoration.

A BOAC 'Scottish Prince' livery would be appropriate.

Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) the museum closed to the general public 17 March 2020 but has since reopened.

The wings have now been moved outside, protected in the same way as the fuselage.

The museum is now operating normally.

Will they ever put this fine aircraft back together again!
