EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the sleek lines and innovative design of the Vickers Viking IB, registration G-AJJN, as it soared through the skies during a demonstration flight to New Zealand in April 1947. The Viking IB was a versatile and advanced aircraft, which combined the features of a transport and a long-range maritime patrol aircraft. Vickers, the renowned British aircraft manufacturer, retained G-AJJN for this important promotional mission, showcasing the aircraft's capabilities to potential customers in the far-off land of New Zealand. The successful demonstration flight marked a significant milestone in the history of the Viking IB, which was later adopted by various military and civilian organizations around the world. Upon its return to the UK, G-AJJN continued to serve Vickers as a communications aircraft, playing a crucial role in maintaining contact between different departments and facilities within the company. However, its tenure with Vickers was not permanent, and the aircraft was eventually sold to British European Airways (BEA), where it likely saw service as a passenger transport or cargo plane. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era in aviation history, when innovation, exploration, and the spirit of adventure were at the forefront of aviation technology.
