EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the sleek lines and elegant design of Vickers Viscount 812 G-AVIW (msn 358) as it taxis at Southend Airport in 1969. The Viscount, a British turboprop airliner produced by Vickers-Armstrongs, was a pioneering aircraft in its time, introducing jet-like speeds and cabin comfort to the turboprop market. The Viscount 812 was an upgraded version of the original Viscount, featuring more powerful engines and an extended fuselage, allowing for an increased passenger capacity. G-AVIW, registered to Channel Airways, was one of 16 Viscount 812s operated by the airline between 1968 and 1975. Southend Airport, located in Essex, England, was a popular destination for Channel Airways, with regular services to various European cities. The airport's proximity to London made it an ideal hub for short-haul flights, and the Viscount's ability to take off and land on shorter runways made it an ideal choice for the airline. The photograph captures the Viscount in its element, with the tarmac and airport buildings in the background providing a sense of context and scale. The aircraft's distinctive livery, featuring a bold red stripe and the Channel Airways logo, adds to its visual appeal. This photograph is a testament to the golden age of aviation, a time when air travel was still a novelty and the world seemed just a little bit closer. The Viscount, with its combination of style, speed, and comfort, was a key player in making air travel accessible to the masses, and G-AVIW, with its proud history and storied past, is a reminder of that exciting era.
