Global Connections ✈ CLASSIC AIRLINERS #17 ✈ Brooklands Memberstv – The Brooklands Vickers Viscount “Stephen Piercey” 🇬🇧 ✈

Tom Singfield, Brooklands volunteers team leader of the Viscount takes us for a tour of this wonderful and very important aircraft. The Vickers Viscount, the world’s first turboprop airliner, was one of the few commercially successful aircraft programmes of post-war Britain. 🙂

The first flight of the prototype was made at Wisley on 16/7/48 and in 1953 the first production aircraft, which were powered by four 1,890hp Rolls-Royce Dart RDa.7 Mk520 engines, entered regular service with British European Airways (BEA). Viscount production ceased in the early 1960s after 444 had been made.
