Retired types and vintage aircraft that are only seen on special flights, at air days or in museums.
Vickers Vanguard
Vickers Vanguard
Four powerful Tyne turboprops, a bulbous fuselage and later a huge cargo door: the Vanguard came too late as an airliner, but as the Merchantman freighter it flew until 1996.
Vickers VC10
VC10
Four engines in pairs at the tail, a high T-tail and a textbook wing: the Vickers VC10 was Britain’s answer to the Boeing 707 and DC-8. It flew around the world for BOAC and for almost five decades as a transport and tanker for the Royal Air Force. Here you learn how to recognize it and where to find it today.
Vickers Viscount
Viscount
Huge oval windows, four whistling Rolls-Royce Dart turbines and a place in the history books: in 1953 the Vickers Viscount became the first turboprop to bring scheduled airline service into a new age. Here is how to recognize it and where to find the last survivors.
