FS2004 South African Airways Vickers Viking 1B

South African Airways purchased three new Viking 1B's during September 1947 for use on its services to neighbouring Rhodesia, where Central African Airways has standardised on the type. A further five Vikings arrived in December 1947 and brought the total to eight. The Viking was used on routes within Southern Africa before being disposed of in March 1952. All eight SAA Vikings were sold to British European Airways. ZS-BNL 'Mount Prospect' (c/n 297) was sold to BEA as G-AMGI. It later wound up with Eagle Aviation and served as a cabin crew trainer before being broken up at Heathrow in 1960.
