Progressive were a small taxi airline operating Doves and Herons
They bought this Viscount from Aer Lingus but it remained unclaimed as it had tried to progress too far. The Viscount was repossessed by Aer Lingus after the agreement could not be met

Ah. I don't recall seeing it on the Dove, maybe I missed it.
So this would have been quite a rare beast during its day. :think:

Hi Eddie
Not if you were based in Dublin
..........it never entered service with Progressive, remained with Aer Lingus until repossessed.
I don't know what livery it was painted in when it went to Airwork at Bournemouth

Just noticed that Dove Garry. What a nice scheme. I have never seen it before.
Looking at the registration, I am glad its not registered in France!!
