014c. G-AMOE 3 Vickers V701 Viscount Cambrian Airways LPL 15JUL66

            Replacing an earlier scanned slide with a better version 16-Mar-15, plus DeNoise AI 07-Jan-23.

"The aircraft now arriving at Gate 2.... " Cambrian Airways taxiing accident.  This was outside my office window.  A piece of the mangled steps can be seen (top left of centre) sticking out of the aircraft roof while another piece had gone through an aircraft window.

G-AMOE was a very early Viscount, delivered to BEA British European Airways in Jul-53.  It was sold to Channel Airways in Mar-64 and leased to British Eagle International Airlines the same month.  It returned to Channel Airways in Dec-64 and was sold to Cambrian Airways in Jan-65.

It survived its argument with Gate 2, the nose was rebuilt (as was Gate 2!) and it continued to operate with Cambrian until it was transferred to Northeast Airlines (formerly BKS) in Jan-72 for spares use.  It was withdrawn from use at Newcastle, UK, in Jan-72 and used as a cabin crew trainer until Apr-77 when it was transferred to Lampton Pleasure Park, 'preserved'.  It was finally broken up in Mar-93.

Taken on: July 15, 1966
