VICKERS Viscount (D-ANIP)

very nice aircraft to fly as we had four of them in NZ/NAC

Great memories of the Viscount from the early '60's. Air Canada had a fleet of them. I don't think they had PLL control for the prop synch in those days, so there was often a slow "beat" frequency sound from them. Always loved flying in them.

It would be sad news to know of the number of ramp workers who lost their hearing because of this airplane. the SUD, caravel is in the same category. one could hear the caravel 5 minutes after take-off, even though it was out of sight!

Tres beau souvenir fait mon batheme de l`air sur ce modele, avec AIR CANADA en 1964 merci,

All of these pics from 1969 DUS are just wonderful. Keep up the good work!

Capitol Airlines had a fleet of them as well. They operated out of Washington, DC.
