Quiet? Since when had the Viscount ever been quiet, inside or out? It was always loud!

Well, if you ever flew the piston engine aircraft of the day such as the Super Connie, or even the CV 340/440s. All very loud and much vibration. The Viscount was particularily loud from the perspective of ground personnel as those Darts had a pretty loud scream on ground idle.

I never remember the Britannia being loud! Guess the Viscount was quiet for the day though, when compared to the DC-3s and similar it was replacing and the Herald and such like it was competing with.

Two Viscount 720's crashed in Australia and the model is not mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.9.139.165 (talk) 00:33, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
