Trans Australia Airlines
Trans Australia Airlines (TAA) was a government-owned Australian domestic airline. It was one of Australia’s two major domestic airlines; the other was Ansett Airways. Founded on September 8, 1946, as TAA and renamed Australian Airlines in 1986, it merged into Qantas in September 1992.
Vickers Viscount
The Viscount is a British medium-range turboprop airliner that first flew in July 1948 and entered service in April 1953 with BEA. It was the first turboprop airliner and one of Britain’s most successful commercial aircraft.
The Viscount was manufactured in three main variants:
- 700 Series: the first production version with a capacity of 43 passengers
- 800 Series: fuselage extended by 1.168 m (3 ft 10 in), increasing passenger capacity to 65 passengers
- 810 Series: more powerful engines and longer-range
The last Viscount passenger service in Britain was in April 1996. Four hundred forty-eight airframes were completed before production ended in 1963.
The flight crew comprises two pilots. The -810 variant passenger cabin seated 75. It uses two Rolls-Royce RB.53 Dart turboprop engines, one mounted in each wing, driving four-blade constant-speed propellers.
