Better Days
There is a nice poster on the wall of Wayne Andre's "The Touring Shoppe" in Las Vegas.
It is of a Vickers Viscount and a Silver Cloud in the good old days when Vickers and Rolls-Royce were still friends.

Immigration office is slightly different today.
For the plane spotters, here is a British European Airways Vickers Viscount displaying 806 G-AOYH.

Oh how things changed.
Including that of the relationship between Vickers and Rolls-Royce. Read the excellent book 'Kidnap of the Flying Lady' by Richard Feast to see what happened.
