A rare picture (and very good quality) of a (the one and only?) BOAC Viscount(s)

HI Toby

Nice pic but not rare :)

The two Cambrian leased to BOAC G-AMOG and 'ON of the 1970's for Edinburgh/Glasgow to Pretstwick feeder services are very common..loads of pics. Both these machines ended up in BA livery. They were operated by Cambrian for BOAC.

Rarer was the Airwork one that flew in BOAC livery in the early 1960's

BOAC owned quite a few Viscounts for onward placement with asscociate companies, many in a BOAC type livery. :)
