One of the most attractive civilian airliners everbuilt in my view second only to Concorde but first for an all british airliner
The Viscount.
G-AOYG Southend
1st time I have been it seemed smaller than one I went to last year in Gatwick, which is on again next month cant rember the date off hand,
A few nice items sadly all out of my price range such as W&R3 for £25 too much for me sadly Just could not justify the outlay, I do collect them and would loved to have got it but not being able to work you cant spend that much on one book.
Got some modling tools and three free paper plane concordes!
It is this Saturday, 150 stalls all indoors, where abouts it is I dont know never been.
Am going this time though.
That Viking shot is amazing piece of history just look at how small the road is, the farm is still operating as well!
Well Done
dasic is great stuff lovely shade of green and it smells not too bad…
Mind if I ask what the aircraft is.
A few more Viscounts for us to drool over…

Southend, Freightmaster Viscount ans YS11, the YS11 was lost in an accident soon after this photo was taken an engine “exploded” in fight the aircrat landed safely but was written off.
