 Vickers V.630 Viscount prototype, wearing military markings and serial VX211.
It was previously registered G-AHRF and first flew on 16 July 1948. In November 1948, military roundels and serial VX211 were applied - it wore these until 19 August 1949, when it reverted to civil registration G-AHRF. On 27 August 1952, it was damaged beyond economic repair, when the starboard main undercarriage leg collapsed during a landing at Khartoum Airport, Sudan. |
