FS2004 British Midland Viscount 736

Acquired in January 1967 by way of a swap with BU (CI)A which took a Herald this was British Midland's first of many Viscounts. Although the 700 were only operated for a couple of years the later 810 aircraft formed the backbone of the airline until slowly being replaced by DC9's in the later half for the 1970's. Even then it was not until 1988 that the final service was flown. This aircraft was not to see even the end of the 700 era. It was written off on February 20th, 1969 in a non fatal undershoot at East Midlands in a snow storm. The aircraft landed heavily the fuselage breaking just behind the wing. Requires the FSDS Viscount 700 model by Rick Piper. By Garry Russell.
