The Scottish Flyer route commenced in January 1969. I don't think the 1-11 'fleet' was operating from SEN at that time having been transferred to STN in 1968. The Scottish Flyer liveried Viscount 812 was G-AVHK which had a baggage compartment in the cabin so that only the port engines needed to be shut down on turnrounds en route. It's possible I suppose that a 1-11 flew the route as a PR/photo shoot exercise.
