Flew in her many times during the early eightees, I have fond memories of the old viscounts, what a pity so many ended up as scrap tho, APEX. BLOA. AOHM. AOYG. AOYN. AOYR etc! good work and a much needed restoration.

Thanks for all the kind comment guys.

Out of all the recovery jobs I have done over the years, this one was very special, because although I never knew Stephen I did meet his amazing family and his wonderful friends and their gratitude made it all worthwhile.

As you will see elsewhere in my Videos we did get to fly on Viscounts a few times and as has already been said, few things get close to the sound of a turbo in full song, at one thousand feet.

Wonderfully done! I remember still flying in one of these beautiful aircraft in Africa during the 1980's. There is nothing in this world that compares with the sound of a prop-driven aircraft! The love you gentlemen showed throughout the project is a testament to a generation who took pride in what they built!

Thank you so much for the rescue. Viscounts have a special place in my heart, as my Father was with Capital & United....I still can hear the glorious sounds of startup.

Absolutely fabuluos video, so nice to see a greatly restored classic British airliner preserved in such a great museum. My daughter and I have visited this Viscount several times now and we are always impressed by its condition. Well done!

Nice historical video, I remember the visit to Southend. You can hear the Airport's ATC radar interference at some parts in the first section (every 4 seconds!).
