TC-SEL
Vickers 794 Viscount
(c/n 430)
Nice take off (above) of a color slide by
Jerry Elmas of the third Viscount delivered to THY. A B&W
shot of
it appears below. Incidentally, photos of the second
machine, TC-SEV are rare (if extant at all)
insofar as that
machine, carrying the Turkish prime minister and a party of government
officials, crashed
in a wood
3 miles (4.8 km) from the threshold of Gatwick runway during
its final approach to land in
extensive
fog on 17 February 1959. (The prime minister was
among the ten survivors). TC-SEL
went to the
Turkish Air Force in 1971 as '430'.
