G-ALWF was the second production aircraft and was slightly larger than the prototype. It made its first flight in December 1952 and was handed over to British European Airways in February 1953. As the oldest Viscount still in existence G-ALWF was considered worthy of preservation and it was acquired by the Viscount Preservation Trust. On 12th April 1972 it made its final flight From Rhoose to Liverpool,Airport, calling at Heathrow en route to pick up some VIPs. It had then flown a total of 28,299 hours and made 25,398 landings. After being on display it was then moved to Duxford where it had several restorations. The latest in 2005. It is now on display at the IWM Duxford.
