I just bumped a thread I posted some time ago containing a link to historic film footage of Viscount operations in New Zealand.




BTW....I undertook one Viscount flight in 1967 (at the age of 13) when I flew with New Zealand National Airways Corporation (NAC) from Napier to Christchurch. It involved two sectors: Napier to Wellington in a Fokker F-27 Friendship; and Wellington to Christchurch in a Vickers 800-series Viscount.


I can still remember how smooth and vibration free the Viscount was, and also those HUGE oval windows.
