Viscount 755D, G-AOCC was one of three originally ordered by Airwork Ltd (later British United Airways) in December 1955. As CU-T605 the aircraft first flew for Cubana de Aviacion in June 1956 and served on the route between Havana and Nassau in the Bahamas until October 1959. It was then bought by Cunard Eagle Airways (Bermuda) Ltd and in September 1962 was transferred to the Airline's UK division and flew as G-AOCC for the first time. It was finally withdrawn from use in April 1969 and broken up for spares.
Designed as a result of the UK Brabazon Committee's proposal for post WWII transports, the Viscount was first flown on July 16th, 1948.© Copyright 2003-2009 The Flying Mule, Inc.
