A stunning painting, by Stephen Brown, commemorating the iconic Viscount airliner. Part of a series of "Cameo" oil paintings, the artist has depicted a British European Airways (BEA) Vickers Viscount flying over a British winter landscape in the 1960s. The Vickers Viscount was the world's first turboprop airliner and one of Britain's most successful post war commercial aircraft. The Vickers Viscount flew with more than 60 operators but the principle one was British European Airways. At its peak BEA had a fleet of some 77 aircraft in service. Designed in the 1940s, the first Viscount entered service in 1953 and the type was still operating commercially well into the 1990s.
