I’m Flyin’ It

There is a MacD near/in Vienna that has a Vickers Viking in use. Also painted in the red and white.It is one of the machines that were once used in Holland as a restaurant (a long time ago). Haven’t seen pics of it so far, but I know it is there. Bw Roger
That must be one of the ex Autair Vikings that was at The Avio Resto near Soesterbourg in the late 1960’s.
If anybody has a recent picture of it, I would like to see it. It would also be nice to know the condition!
Dakotas tend to be still two a penny, but there are so few Vikings left!

It’s obviously a popular style for restaurants in New Zealand

Did you actually go inside and have a seat Peter? I know when I suggested to you to have a meal at Taupo McDonalds, you didn’t look too keen. I guess the aviation urge got to you.
Dave,
Did I have a meal? Well actually no, but I was impressed with a town council that would allow such a venture in the middle of a shopping area.

It is the last of the Viewmaster Dakotas that flew the scenic routes in NZ with SpANZ (South Pacific Airlines of New Zealand) by the way. Note the enlarged panoramic windows, with which it actually flew. It was named “George Bolt” while in service after the very famous pioneering NZ aviator. There were two others, ZK-BYD “Ernest Rutherford” and ZK-BYE “Jean Batten”.

It’d be an expensive fuel bill if they got the order wrong…!!

Not too sure if I’d fly on that one, the pilot wears face paint, has red hair and his uniform looks a bit dodgy, then there is the cabin crew……
I thought it was the Cabin crew that wears face paint and dresses funny.
