Not so! The only 600 series Viscounts were the prototye G-AHRF and the Tay-engined VX217/G-AHRG. Both G-ALWE and ‘LWF were V.701s

ooops don’t know what came over me you are right of course, interestingly they were provisionally registered before the 700 prototype G-AMAV

I have a thought that they were originally intended to be 600 series before Vickers had to change the design to suit BEA so were put back in the production with MAV being built first,

think the Viscount is very important as it’s a 630 the original specification, G-ALWE being the other

I think the Britannia is the best looking of all the post War prop Airliners

remember them well, they were around right up until plastic kits arrived
had to be quite skilled to carve them, a bit beyond my childhood abilities

Keil Kraft did them as well as Veron

it is sad from Commercial Aircraft point of view that the Britannia G-ABLO and the Viscount G-AMAV are no longer with us

I can remember it in the 50s, from memory the entrance did look similar and the control tower looks right as well,

there was further hangers across the A30 and they stopped the traffic to move aircraft, remember Neptunes being parked there and Argonauts as well

don’t you dare disappear Brian,
along with DCW you are the main reason I always come to this thread
I agree entirely with you that the minutiae of airshows is not really a subject for Duxford Diary

thanks, he seems to have transferred from the Army, his whole Cranwell intake looks to be Army as well, is this why he was a VR
