Since 1945… the Vickers Viking VC1A G-AGRW
The Blackbushe Heritage Trust
G-AGRW Vickers Viking
The aircraft, named “Vagabond” and registered G-AGRW was acquired during 2022, then dismantled and transported by road from Bad Voslau, Austria, back to Blackbushe in April and May of 2023. Since then work has been underway to restore her to former glory, as a static exhibit.
Heritage Museum
Blackbushe has a rich and varied history, serving as a wartime RAF base, London’s second airport, and a General Aviation facility for 80 years. Blackbushe has ambitious plans for development, including a dedicated space to tell the story of the airport, and display a large collection of historical items.
