Photo Comment

This Viking was originally TOC by the RAF as XF640. In civilian life it flew with Overseas Aviation and Autair before being preserved at a cafe in the Netherlands, on the roof of the old Schwechat terminal and then (in fake Austrian Airlines colours) at a McDonalds neat the airport. It still battles on, now being part of the Austrian Aviation Museum at Bad Voslau with the remnants of the Austrian livery still visible.
