About
The Viscount's larger successor, and a victim of timing: it arrived as airlines were moving to jets, and most of the forty-odd built ended their lives as freighters. No type certificate for it is reachable — the FAA's regulatory system is closed to us and EASA never held the type — so this entry carries its history but none of the certified weights the rest of the library is built on.
