Viscounts? :think:

Done ages ago....... :worried:


Tail logos...on the left side the logo is further forwatd on one than the other.

So if anyone spots that..it is not a mistake, that's how it was.

To add to the two uploaded earlier is another one I have just sent up to the same sites

It is the famous G-AJPH which was, when built the worlds first Jet Airliner or in fact the first airliner to be solely powered by pure jets.

It was only ever intended as a test bed/proof of concept aircraft and after it's testing days were over "The Nene Viking" was converted to a standard Viking 1B for Eagle and later converted to a 3B.

This was the last Eagle livery and it soon evolved into the famous stylised eagle "E" well remembered on the Cunard/British Eagle fleets of the 1960's

Very nice Garry I think Eagle was the best colours for this airliner, a great model by Rick but this plane was at the back of the class when they handed out the pretty certificates :lol:

Yep Tony

Not pretty but sort of cute in an ugly way but nonetheless one of the better bomber adaptions and certainly one of the most sucessful

Some of the early Viking still retained the geodetic structure of the Wellington but with a metal skin.

I believe the Brooklands one is one of those, certainly it's an early one.

Nice for flying somthing different.

Nothing happen very fast with the Viking
