	Aircraft Photos Aviation Pictures Vickers Viscount Aircraft History and Information
		The Viscount was born of a post World War II belief that the gas-turbine in one form or another was the power plant of the future.
		When the Viscount was in full production, Vickers-Armstrongs won orders from some 60 customers worldwide, amounting to a return of £177 million for the 439 aircraft sold.
		The Viscount saw service throughout the world on both passenger and freight services and although the majority had been withdrawn by the start of the 21st century, a few soldiered on.

	Vickers Viscount
		The Viscount was a medium-range turboprop airliner introduced in 1953 by Vickers-Armstrongs, making it the first such aircraft to enter service in the world.
		The resulting Vickers Type 630 design was completed at Brooklands by Chief Designer Rex Pierson and his staff in 1945, a thirty-two seat airliner powered by four Rolls-Royce Dart engines for an improved cruising speed of 275 mph (443 km/h).
		Three years later the Viscount won all honours in the transport section of the 12,367 mile (19,903 km) air race from London to Christchurch, New Zealand.

	Vickers Information
		Vickers was formed in Sheffield as a steel foundry by the steel manufacturer Edward Vickers and his father-in-law in 1828.
		Vickers Sons and Maxim began work on a rigid airship for the British Admiralty in mid 1909 in Cavendish Dock, Cumbria, sadly it disintegrated upon its second trip out of a floating hangar on the evening of 23 September, 1911.
		Vickers was a pioneer in producing airliners, early examples being converted from Vimy bombers, and went on to manufacture the piston-engined Vickers VC.1 Viking airliner and Varsity military crew trainer, the Viscount and Vanguard turboprop airliners, and the stylish though noisy VC-10 jet airliner, which remains in RAF service as an aerial refuelling tanker.

	Zivile Luftfahrt - Vickers Viscount
		Die Reaktionen der Fluggäste war phantastisch: Komfort und Fluggefühl der Viscount, des ersten Turboprop Flugzeugs der Welt, stellte alles bis dahin gewesene in den Schatten.
		Die Vickers Viscount leistete ihren Erstflug 1948 und eröffnete damit das Jet-Zeitalter in der Zivilluftfahrt: Ihre vier Dart-Triebwerke der Marke Rolls Royce waren nicht - wie bis dahin üblich - klassische Kolbenmotoren, sondern Turbinen.
		Die Beliebtheit der Viscount, die 48 bis 71 Sitzplätze hatte, wurde beinahe sprichwörtlich.

	Viscount Information
		A viscount is a member of the European nobility whose comital title ranks usually, as in the British peerage, above a baron, below an earl (in Britain) or a count (his continental equivalent).
		In any event, the style of a viscount is "The Viscount X," or "The Viscount X of Y." Examples include: The Viscount Falmouth (placename); The Viscount Hardinge (surname); The Viscount Gage of Castle Island (surname of placename); and The Viscount Combermere of Bhurtpore (placename of placename).
		A British peculiarity is the use of viscount as a courtesy title for the heir of an earl or marquess.

		The Vickers Viscount was born out of the 1945 Brabazon Committee specification for a short to medium range airliner.

		Vickers continued to modify the V.800 Viscount and the final aircraft were based on the V.8l0 series.

	Vickers Viscount Photos Aircraft Pictures History and Information
		On the other hand, there are practical limits to the velocity which a propeller can impart to its slipstream - the blade tips soon reach the speed of sound and then areodynamics are apt to go haywire - and so it in turn is unsuitable for very high-speed aircraft.
		It was known that a propeller's economy might be combined with the smooth-running and compact simplicity of a turbojet, if the latter's turbine were made big enough not only to turn the compressor, but to harness the remaining jet energy for driving a propeller.
		Vickers Viscount Network is always interested to hear from anyone who has information or photographs to help complete the story of the Viscount.

	Henry Tenby - Internet Ventures / Vickers Viscounts and Vanguard Coventry '96 DVD
		In the mid 1990s, most of the freight that passed through Coventry’s night-time freight hub was transported aboard vintage propliners, including Vickers Viscounts and at the time, the world’s last operational Vickers Vanguard.
		The frenzied, nocturnal, propliner activities which took place from this humble, ramshackle rural location, were captured by aviation videographer Henry Tenby, during several visits in 1995 and 1996.
		We also go for a cockpit flight on the world’s last in-service Vickers Vanguard (Hunting Cargo’s G-APEP) from Liverpool to Belfast, as well as a day-time flight on British World Viscount G-BFZL from Belfast to Coventry, with footage from both the cabin and the flight-deck.
