Hi Trev

Someone on this forum was keen to make one of those

Good 3 views and lack of information is what's holding it up.

Hi Big red

Thanks.that's about all we have already

The 3 view is not very acurate.

I know where there was one published just waiting for someone to come up with it.....Aircraft Illustrated early 1970's

It was unusual in that it had four main undercarriage unites...one under each engine.

The AI contains an accurate drawing by Alfred Grainger.

One has to be so careful with some of these sites.

The UK Virtual has a 3 view of the Tay Viscount about ten feet too short on the fuse length. :o :worried:
