I worked at Coventry at the time the Viscounts were pulled from duty on the mail runs (and the last Merchantman). Used to love the sound when the engines were running. Can't believe the miserable sods who used to ring us at 2 in the morning and complain about the noise, bloody Philistines!

There's a Viscount in the museum at the Christchurch heritage park in NZ. Indoors. But who knows what the condition is?

Yes ZK-BRF sits happily in her home. She's only a parted out shell of her former self and we also had to cut to lower main spar booms to get her apart when we couldn't get the lower set of taper pins to budge.

Follow the restoration of Viscount ZK-BRF c/n 283
