BEA
British European Airways (BEA) was a British airline established by BOAC on January 1, 1946, operating short to medium-haul domestic and international services. The airline introduced the “Red Square” livery in the late 1950s and the “Speedjack” livery in the late 1960s and, in April 1969, established BEA Airtours, a low-cost airline. BEA merged with BOAC to form British Airways (BA) on April 1, 1974. British Airways revived the BEA name from 1991 to 2008.
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. It uses two Rolls-Royce RB.53 Dart turboprop engines, one mounted in each wing, driving four-blade constant-speed propellers.
