Thanks for all the input from everyone – I think I have trawled up all there is on this Aircraft and the related City of Exeter named machines. I have forward the info to the Website owner of Exeter Memories who, I hope , will add the information on the VISCOUNT and the Bristol Freighter – Silver City Archives most helpful as was all the information and links to No 2 Viscount. I hope shortly to see the updates on the ExMem website, there are other methods of transport also awaiting addition.
Thanks

[FONT=“Comic Sans MS”]”Another one that that you might wish to research and include is Viscount 701, G-ALWF “City of Exeter” while with British Eagle circa 1964. Can provide website urls references and service dates if required. This aircraft still exists in preservation at Duxford.”[/FONT]

Thanks for this information – I should like to follow this up and suggestions as to how this is best done are welcome.
With regards RAF & Military Aircraft – I was unaware of the existance of names – I had a few choice names for a Hastings I flew in as Air Despatch Crew years ago at RAF Colerne having seen the puddles of oil under the engines but that is as far as it went!
Many thanks to all who have offered advice & suggestions – The Silver City Bristol Freighter G-AIME is about to be added to the website with the assistance of the Silver City Archives – it is maintained that wherever in the world there is an Exeter it took its name directly or indirectly from Exeter Devon – cheating slightly I know!

Many thanks for that information – will divert my energies to tracking down a clear image of this aircraft G-AIME. There is a poor resolution image on Google Images and one can distinguish “City of Exeter” rear of the Captial “E” in a white circle – if anyone has or can direct me to a higher resolution of this aircraft showing its name clearly it would be appreciated and hopefully appropriate permission to use on Exeter Memories website can be given.
I’ll assume the De Havilland Dragon Trail is a dead end – UNLESS – someone knows different. ! !

Thanks to all who who have responded with infromation to date on this forum.
