During my time as a QFI with the RAAF VIP Squadron in Canberra I flew the two Viscount 800 Series in the mid-Sixties. One was obtained from the Sperry Rand Corporation of USA, while the other was the Shah of Persia's aircraft.

I often wondered where they both finished up after the RAAF disposed of them circa 1967 after receiving two HS 748's as replacement. I would also be most interested in the history of these two aircraft prior to them being obtained for the RAAF. Their RAAF numbers were A6-435 and A6-436.
