Sorry wasnt aiming at you - In a seperate conversation Garry R and I were having earlier we were talking about how the Brit seems to be
a bit maligned but it was a magnificent aircarft - my introduction to the beastie was in the very early 60s when Britannia Airways took delivery
of their 102s - then later in the mid 70s as I said I had "hands on" experience - I had forgotten about the CP connection with the beastie
and dont hold your breath but you might just see the "plowhorse" before its all over . The 300 is my personal favorite - but I have it on
fairly good authority that you will see the Canadair variations somewhere in the future


Cheers

To Garry, that's the Viscount in question alright, not sure of it's current status. The Brabazon, the Britannia these are good times!

Hi Neil

That site has contstant update so you'll be able to keep an eye on it.

I was peased to see that one get saved as it had been photographed over the years and was starting to look shabby especially after it went to the fire service. Luckily they used it for non destructive.
