Spent many hours in the back of Viscounts travelling between Aberdeen and Sumburgh on oil charter flights back in the 90’s.

Somehow always felt safe and secure on them, and as Rob 68 remarked, those huge windows rewarded you with fine views on a clear day.

Good fun on a ( Sumburgh ) runway 33 arrival or 15 departure as well !!! 😀

Yes, I know time moves on, but i much preferred the Viscount to it’s successor the ATR 72, which – although I may be looking through the old rose-tinteds here – seemed to break down more often !
