This former Austrian Viscount was acquired by the Ministry of Technology in Oct 1964 and was used by the Royal Radar Establishment until taken on by the RAE, in whose fine attire she is seen here. Wfu at Bruntingthorpe Jul 1993 and b/u; nose saved and placed on display at the Viscount's birthplace, Brooklands

Here having just arrived for attention by AT(E)L, this Viscount was originally Austrian Airlines' OE-LAG, delivered in 2.60 as "Frans Schubert". Modified with the under-belly radome for radar development work by the RRE Pershore, she will perhaps be better remembered in the later RAE "Raspberry Ripple" colours...
