Vickers 639 Viking 1 G-AGRW on display and under restoration at the Blackbushe Heritage Trust. Originally delivered to BEA in 1946, flying on European routes, later she flew for Hunting Clan, British Eagle, Autair. She spent many years in Austria as a restaurant before being rescued by the Blackbushe Heritage Trust and returning to Blackbushe on the 2nd May 2023. Now at the beginning of a long term restoration which will see her restored into her 1950’s scheme in a non airworthy state. With grateful thanks to Clive Webb of the Blackbushe Heritage Trust.
