EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Vickers VC.1 Viking 1B, registration G-AJFT (msn 238), of Airwork London, parked gracefully at Blackbushe Airport during the late 1950s. The Vickers Type 627 Viking 1B, a versatile and iconic aircraft, was a mainstay of Airwork's fleet during this era, playing a crucial role in military and diplomatic operations for the British government. During the period from 1947 to 1960, Airwork carried out essential trooping flights for the military and the Foreign Office using their Vickers Vikings. The Viking, a twin-engine, short-range, transport aircraft, was renowned for its ability to operate from short runways, making it an ideal choice for the challenging conditions often encountered in remote and underdeveloped regions. In this image, the Viking 1B, with its distinctive hump-backed fuselage and propellers, exudes a sense of purpose and readiness. The red, white, and blue livery of Airwork London adorns the aircraft, adding to its striking appearance. The photograph not only serves as a testament to the Viking's enduring legacy but also highlights the vital role Airwork played in supporting the British military and diplomatic efforts during the 1950s.
