Thanks for this chaps, I too had the pleasure of flying on her as well, most unusual having a Viscount doing pleasure flights. I seem to recollect that it was a classic airliner show however nothing much turned up apart from the 3 above aircraft if my memory serves me well.
I’m glad to say that I attended this years airshow at Lydd after a long absence of the airfield staging anything and it a was much better turn out of aircraft, abeit military.
The thing I liked most about the Viscount was that when it first arrived, it taxied in on all four engines which was a wonderful sight and sound. Viscounts traditionally shut two engines down the minute they leave the runway.
As regards classic airliners there was also the Air Atlantique Dragon Rapide and the South Coast Airways Dakota both in attendance. I can’t remember if there was a Dove there or not!
