FS2004 Trans Australia Airlines Viscount 816. Four series 816 Viscounts were ordered to supplement the TAA fleet of Viscount 700's. In the event only two were delivered (VH-TVP, Q) and the other two (VH-TVR, S) sold off the line. These two did return to Australia later to serve with the RAAF. This machine was the first of the pair to be delivered, joining the fleet in May 1959 it flew with TAA until April 1971 when it went off to Far Eastern Air Transport. The two TAA series 816's were later joined by a series 818 bought from Cubana taking up the unused VH-TVR identity. Requires the FSDS Viscount 800 model by Rick Piper. By Garry Russell.
