Still shots from the DVD
Vickers Props Farewell : £17.95 : 60 minutes
Remember when you came home from an airport with your ears ringing from the sound of Rolls Royce Darts and Tynes? You'll get the same effect from watching this DVD featuring nothing but Viscounts and Vanguards!
We take a look at major Viscount operators such as BEA and British Midland, together with 70's services by Cambrian and Northeast. All that action is taken from expertly restored cine film. Similar material brings us Vanguards operating for BEA, Trans Canada Airlines and Invicta International.
Moving on to the 1980s and 90s there's an in-depth look at the Parcelforce operations at Coventry with Viscounts in three different liveries and Air Bridge/Hunting Clan Vanguards. We're on board a Viscount flying from Belfast to Coventry, and in the cockpit for the final approach and landing.
The last Viscount flight from Heathrow, a V700 flight testing at Antwerp, air to air with London European's V806 - it's Vickers Prop Heaven - don't miss it!
Comments from our customers ....
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you very much, and say how pleased I am with my recent purchase of one of your DVD'S 'VICKERS PROPS FAREWELL'.The footage which is contained within the DVD, in my eyes is priceless and worth every penny. It is a true credit to yourselves as the supplier, and to the people who were responsible for taking the time to produce this DVD.

DVD formats explained
There are several different kinds of DVD available so here's a simple guide.
DVDs are 'pressed' from a master disc.
DVD-Rs are 'burnt' from a master DVD, just like copying one CD to another.
DVDs and DVD-Rs will play in any computer DVD drive [but not in a CD drive].
All our DVDs/DVD-Rs are 'region-free', so they will play anywhere in the world. However, if you're not watching your DVDs on a computer, you will need to ensure they are compatible with your national TV system. There are two main types; PAL and NTSC.
PAL TV is used in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and many other Commonwealth countries. PAL DVDs are therefore the obvious choice for those countries.
Because PAL DVD players will also play NTSC DVDs without any adverse effect on picture quality, DVDs that were filmed in NTSC are now released as PAL/NTSC DVDs, as the same format can be used world-wide.
NTSC TV systems are used in the USA, Canada, Japan and some other countries. If you have a multi-system DVD player, this will play either NTSC or PAL DVDs, and you should also buy our PAL DVDs and PAL/NTSC DVDs.
Most US DVD players are multi-region, not multi-system, and you will need to buy our NTSC DVD-Rs and PAL/NTSC DVDs.
Some early DVD players would not play DVD-Rs. If you buy a DVD-R from us and it is not compatible with your DVD player, we will provide a full refund, including your postage.
Postage and packing charges
Not only are our postal charges some of the lowest in the UK, we don't charge any extra to ship DVDs to any destination worldwide.
The more DVDs you buy in one order, the lower the postal charges. Buy four or more and there is no postal charge at all. Buy five or more and we'll add Special Delivery or Priority Airmail at no extra cost.
That's great value!
- 1 DVD ~ £1.50
- 2 or 3 DVDs ~ £2.00
- 4 DVDs ~ Free Delivery
- More than 4 DVDs ~ Free Special Delivery or Priority Airmail
