VP-TBK Vickers
702 Viscount
(c/n 71)
In 1955 BOAC
introduced new Viscounts into the Caribbean airline map.
Four model 702s
were acquired initially,
followed by four more model 772s in 1957. VR-TBK was the first of
them. This rather
inauspicious shot was received from BWIA in 1956. The Viscount
was later
seconded to Kuwait
Airways and then to Bahamas Airways before returning to the UK
perm-
anently in 1964,
winding up with
Channel Airways. It was scrapped in 1970.
