Based at London Heathrow, BEA flew Viscounts to all major destinations throughout Europe from the late 1950s until they were finally retired in the mid 1970s. The airline went through three major livery changes throughout its life and this colour scheme was implemented in 1968. On 1 st November 1971, the entire fleet of V.802s was split up into BEA Channel Islands and BEA Scottish Airways divisions, with 12 being operated by the former and 9 by the latter, including G-AOJC. The Corgi "Legends" range presents affordable, ready-made diecast models of military and civilian aircraft. Corgi "Legends" diecast airplanes feature: - Diecast metal construction with some plastic components.
- Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.
- Pad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals.
- Permanently extended landing gear with rotating wheels.
- Presention stand to display the aircraft "in flight".

Designed as a result of the UK Brabazon Committee's proposal for post WWII transports, the Viscount was first flown on July 16th, 1948. | |
