Vickers Viscount 814, construction number 431, was delivered to British Midland Airways as G-AZNA in the early 1960s as the airline expanded its turboprop fleet. The aircraft operated regional and short haul services across the United Kingdom and Europe, linking secondary cities with improved speed and comfort compared with piston aircraft. G-AZNA featured a pressurized cabin, quiet Rolls Royce Dart engines, and large windows, enhancing the passenger experience. It wore British Midland's early blue and white livery and became a familiar sight at UK airports. The Viscount proved reliable and economical, supporting the airline's growth before being retired as British Midland transitioned to jet aircraft in later years.
Please note: An optional display stand is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
Designed as a medium-range pressurized turboprop aircraft, the Vickers Viscount first flew on July 16, 1948. As the world's first turboprop airliner, the Viscount filled a need for passenger transport on less popular routes. The early 630 design could carry 32 passengers, but it was ultimately rejected because of high per-passenger costs that made it impractical for commercial purposes. The redesigned 700 could carry up to 48 passengers, and the later Type 800 "Super Viscount" added an extra 23 passengers for a total of 71. The Viscount remained in airline service until 1985, when it became primarily a charter service aircraft. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
