Varsity at the Newark museum maintained in excellent nick' Did two tours on them as a QFI at Oakington. The front end was notorious for its' leaks (wooden windows!) and one QFI flew in Oilskins'. It really was a two engined un-pressurised Viscount prototype if you compare it to the early series Viscounts. It dried out as the day progressed.
