KLM Vickers Viscount

First up, a disclaimer.  This is one of the few (only?) photos on the blog that I didn’t take.  When you look at it, that should be pretty clear.  I have been working through a scanning job of old negatives and slides that my parents took.  A few shots I took too with their cameras but that is off topic.  In the process of scanning these shots, I came across a few aviation shots.  (Thanks Mum for taking some shots of RAF Hawks at Chivenor in the camo days while she was traveling passed there!). My parent made a trip to the Netherlands long before I was born and they flew there on a KLM Vickers Viscount.  My Dad kindly thought to take a picture of the plane knowing that, decades later, I would be delighted to find it.  Nice job!
