Jamie, I have spent far too long looking into this mystery photo ! I have looked in depth at the viscount.net site, and , despite the dates being wrong, I wonder if the answer lies within that very good website, allow me to explain my dubious theory !
Apart from the overall colour scheme, the only giveaway in the pic, is the logo / badge position ? having searched every one of their pics the only viscount found with a logo in that position (seemingly different to the rest of the fleet) is D-ANEF c/n 343 of Lufthansa ????
If you go into their website and search for photos by construction number 343, it will give you 8 photos, one dated 1966 at LHR, shows the logo in this position and other photos show its fate, being purchased by Airwork Services and crashed, possibly on delivery, at Hurn, recorded as beyond repair !
Myabe the last pic before she crashed…

If ZK-BMK was on display at the SBAC Show in 1955 it must have been static or a mock-up. The prototype Agricola didn’t fly until December 1955 (see first post above).

Beautiful. Which engine are you using, is it a Walter Mikron II ?
‘It is equipped with original Tatra T–100 engine (p.n. 006, year of production 1938), on which capital repair was done with help of the TATRA Ltd and the National Technical Museum in Prague.’
