G-APEJ

Aircraft:
Vickers V953C Merchantman
Reg: G-APEJ photos
Serial #:
713
Airline: Air Bridge Cargo
Photo Date: Jun 22, 1991
Uploaded: Nov 26, 2007
Woodford - EGCD, United Kingdom

Notes:

For me, this was the star turn of the 1991 Woodford air show: a Vickers Vanguard of all aircraft types, an old, heavy (but beautiful, at least to my eyes) turboprop transport aircraft, gave a-very spirited-display. It was also probably quite a historic event, as I doubt a Vanguard had been displayed at an air show since the aircraft was shown new at the 1959-61 Farnborough shows.
