Slide taken by Norbert Kröpfl. British Midland Airways acquired all seven Viscounts from South African Airways in 1972. G-AZLP, the oldest of them, was flown from England for more than 10 years before eventually being retired at Teeside.

Delivered in January 1972 ex-ZS-CDT. Operating the ex-Channel Airways routes to the Channel Islands from Southend. Withdrawn from use at Teesside in 1986 and fuselage used as a ground trainer. To North East Aircraft Museum in 2008. Scrapped in 2013, nose preserved at Brooklands Museum.

The forward fuselage section arrived at Brooklands 14 November 2013 and was gutted out by volunteers to represent a Viscount during construction. The external condition was poor so it was decided to paint it in 'non-authentic' primer to make it more presentable. It is now in the refurbished Grade II listed WWII (1940) Bellman hangar as part of the 'Aircraft Factory' exhibition which was opened by Prince Michael of Kent 13 November 2017.

Scrapped 3 years later, the nose now preserved at Brooklands Museum.
