EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Vickers Viscount 802 G-AOJB of British European Airways (BEA) is seen taxying at Wick Airport in June 1969. The Viscount, a pioneering turboprop airliner produced by the British aircraft manufacturer Vickers-Armstrongs, made its first flight in 1948 and quickly became a mainstay of the post-war aviation industry. The Viscount was renowned for its advanced design and innovative features, including a twin-engine configuration, pressurized cabin, and a T-tail that improved stability and visibility for the pilots. This particular aircraft, G-AOJB, was delivered to BEA in 1959 and served with the airline until the late 1970s. The image captures the Viscount in its element, with the distinctive sound of its Rolls-Royce Dart engines rumbling in the background as it prepares for takeoff. The airport scene is bustling with activity, with ground crew members directing the aircraft and other planes taxying in the background. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, with the simple, functional design of the terminal building and the absence of modern amenities that are now commonplace at airports. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating snapshot of aviation history, showcasing the Vickers Viscount in its prime and offering a glimpse into the past of air travel. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the aviation industry and the enduring allure of flight. This photograph is available as a high-resolution print from Mary Evans Prints Online, and is a must-have for any aviation enthusiast or history buff. The image is dated 1969, and is not to be used for commercial purposes without the express permission of Mary Evans Picture Library.
