FS2004 Viscount 808 Progressive
 
Built as a Series 803 for KLM it was, along with the rest of the KLM fleet later sold to Aer Lingus. It was converted to 808 standard but kept the different forward window arangement of the 803/805/806 series.
Norwich based Progressive Airways, an operator of a handful of Dove, Herons and other small types decided to expand with the purchase of this aircraft after it was withdrawn from use by Aer Lingus.  Painted up and made ready for service, it was a step too far for the small carried and they failed without the Viscount entering service.  It was repossessed by Aer Lingus who sold it to Airwork for onward sale to the Sultan of Oman Airforce. That sale was not taken up and it was destroyed in a fire fighting demonstration at Hurn, Bournemouth in October 1975.
