Vikings buried near Heathrow ?

I was thinking along those lines too..can’t think of any other BEA Viscounts wrecked at Heathrow…not in any major way.

Maybe this one?

The BEA Viscount (G-AMOK) that hit the construction equipment was repaired so I doubt it was in that yard, unless they stored it there until Marshalls picked it up for the rebuild.

I thought Vikings were burnt!

Hmmm ohhh hmmmmm not going to make an freinds over this, but i have been itching to answer that one, ok here goes……

No that was a Varsity……. :diablo:

The yard in question was in Bedfont Road, on the left just before the bend, heading towards Bedfont itself. Next to the cemetery. It later had the BEA Viscount that hit construction equipment on take-off (the plane, not the…..). Used the wrong runway,I believe. Now, as others have pointed out, partly a lake..

Hallo Mike….A classic photo of your father’s!….having lived in the area I’ve got my doubts that anybody round there would have let scrap aluminium get (or stay) buried…it was and still is worth a bit of money….the rest of the picture gives the impression of a transport yard. A lot of Bedfont was dug for gravel then backfilled with rubbish after which there has to be a ‘settling’ period before house building can take place (if ever!)….Mick

..Not if the Pikeys got there first!

:diablo: I thought Vikings were burnt!

And there was me thinking they had been buried at Roskilde…
