The military version of the Viking. This particular airframe was one of only 3 remaining in the world and sadly was destroyed as a result of an arson attack in January 1997.

Seen here undergoing restoration at the Brooklands Museum, with its wings still separate. Was not easy to photograph, with its nose in broad daylight and the tail section hiding away in a dark hangar. This Viking arrived at the museum from Cosford on 27 June 1991, after having been on display there since 1979. Before that it had been in use as a restaurant near Soesterberg, The Netherlands since 1964. Seen in front of the Viking is a nice taxiable 1909 Santos-Dumont Demoiselle replica, built in 1999.

'Vagrant' was built for BEA in 1946 as a type V.498 but in June 1948 was converted to a type V.657 for BWIA and re-registered as VP-TAX. She returned to England in 1955 to fly for British International Airlines and was later sold to Channel Airlines in April 1959. Her final flight was to Soesterberg in 1964 where she became a cafe for the next 15 years or so. After a short time at Cosford she is now on display in her original BEA livery at Brooklands.
