Vickers Viking G-AGRW enjoyed a long, varied and successful operational career (beginning as XF640 with the Ministry of Supply), and served with several well-known airlines. On decommissioning, it was converted to a novelty restaurant along with two other Vikings at Soesterburg, Netherlands, and then served as a creche facility at a MacDonalds restaurant in Vienna, Austria.
It currently stands forlorn and semi-derelict in the corner of an airfield in Austria, awaiting purchase, dismantling and transport back "home" to Blackbushe Airport, UK, where it "traded" for many of its flying years.
This funding appeal has been created to provide support for a dedicated and active technical team who have taken on the challenge of restoring "Vagabond" back to a dignified standard of originality, both for the aircraft's own history, and to represent the considerable number of Vickers Viking aircraft that operated from Blackbushe Airport, and frequently visited there.
