EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Vickers Viscount 806 G-APEY of British Airways at London Heathrow Airport in 1982. The sleek design of this aircraft is truly a sight to behold, showcasing the beauty and elegance of aviation from decades past.
However, this particular plane has a story to tell - on 26 November 1965, APEY experienced a nose undercarriage collapse at Jersey airport after an intentional firm touchdown. Despite this incident, the aircraft continued to fly and serve its purpose for many years following the mishap.
The history behind each aircraft adds depth and character to their presence in the skies. From takeoff to landing, these planes have seen it all and continue to soar through the clouds with grace and power.
As we admire this image of G-APEY, let us remember the resilience and strength of these flying machines that have shaped our world in so many ways. Each flight is a testament to human ingenuity and innovation, pushing boundaries and reaching new heights with every journey taken.
Let us cherish moments like these captured in time, where aviation history comes alive through photographs like this one from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection.
