I've gotta say Garry that the 'British' livery has never really worked for me but it suits the Viscount very well indeed.. so much so that I think I'll adjust my VA fleet aircraft so that I can fly with it a bit more :wink:

I Loved the livery with the old British Airways titles. :smile:

Never liked or saw the point of the large British :k: ......then after dropping it BAF took it on spoiling that nice livery :sad: with balance titles by applying even bigger British. :huf:

HI Ben

I don't know how many recieved these titles

apart from thr above YM, YO and either PEX or Y did at least

They were by then starting to withdraw Viscount to Cardiff.

I have not attempted a list.

Hi Fraser

About half a dozen or so but I can't think off hand which

It was as you say the active ones as by then a lot were in storage.
