Caption: A British built Ansett-ANA Vickers Viscount 11 being refuelled by Shell Australia workers on the apron of an unidentified Australian airport. In 1942 the British Government established the "Brabazon Committee" to oversee aircraft designs for Britain to compete with the USA in the post WW11 passenger market. Only two were successful - the de Havilland Dove and the Vickers Viscount. The Viscount series was in fact highly successful and operated in many countries including Australia and the U.S.A. The Rolls-Royce Dart engine was also verysuccessful and used in a variety of commercial aircraft.Access StatusAccess restrictions apply for some itemsRequest TypeRequest itemConditions of Use and ReproductionThis image is provided for research purposes and must not be reproduced without prior permission of University of Melbourne Archives.
