Viscounts were used on similar runs in the UK unless the 70s too, until
being replaced by mainly BAC 1-11s (another brilliant little gem). Now

the
Viscount was a superb turboprop, being the first turboprop airliner in

the
world. It had a wonderful distinctive sound.


And, in fact, it's taken you around 100 posts to actually arrive at
the one truly successful airliner that the Brits have been able to
produce. (I don't win the pool - my bet was for 50 posts.)


But how more posts before he indicates any knowledge about its ancestry?
