Vickers Viscount 827, registered PP-SRF, was operated by VASP during the 1960s as part of the airline's expanding domestic and regional network in Brazil. The Viscount 800 series was powered by Rolls Royce Dart turboprop engines and was known for its smooth ride and reliable performance. PP-SRF operated routes linking Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, and other major Brazilian cities, offering improved speed and comfort compared with earlier piston airliners. The aircraft wore VASP's classic livery of the era, reflecting the airline's growing prominence. PP-SRF helped modernize Brazilian air travel before being retired as jet aircraft gradually replaced turboprops on trunk routes.
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.
