Preserved at the Aeronautical Museum Cnel. (Av.) Jaime Meregalli inside the air force base in Carrasco. Though it is not part of the Uruguayan air force, many enthusiasts and aviation historians have pitched in to try to preserve this plane as best as possible. Slowly but surely it is being preserved completely.

Photographer: Al Rodriguez. K25 slide scan. Built 1960 as PP-SRH for VASP. Pluna CX-BIZ 1976, withdrawn Montevideo by 1986. Noted stored 1990, transferred to fire dump 1995, removed 1998.

Originally it was the Vickers 810 deveolpment aircraft painted in Continental livery. Here on delivery, it became CX-BIZ with PLUNA in 1975 and lasted until 1986. Note the additional small window between the S and R.

Here on delivery, but it didn't last long as it was destroyed on 22 December 1959 in a mid-air collision with a Força Aérea Brasileira Fokker T-21, while on approach to Rio de Janeiro (SBGL).

Here on delivery ferry and later it went to PLUNA as CX-BIY. In 1982 it was ferried to Tucson (KTUS) as N480RC for JadePort, but seems to have been used as a parts source then scrapped in 1993.

Delivered to VASP as PP-SRC in 1958. To PLUNA as CX-BIY in 1975 then to Ronald J Clark/Go Transportation as N480RC in 1982. Painted as N480RC-F for ferry flight to Tucson. Used for parts. Scrapped in 1993.

Dumped along in the bushes along the runway. Only visible during arrival. Later the Viscount was saved, when the aviation museum relocated to the airport.

Originally delivered to VASP as PP-SRF in 12.58, this beauty was bought by PLUNA in 11.75 and was preserved airside at one end of the terminal at MVD after withdrawal from service. Later moved and abandoned in another spot away from the terminal; condition increasingly poor but now fortunately saved by the Uruguayan Museum of Aeronautics for restoration in original colours. The livery seen here was current on B737s when the aircraft was put on display, but too late to actually have been carried by Viscounts in service

Delivered new to VASP in December 1958. Sold to PLUNA as CX-BJA in November 1975.
