Darts Powered Rolls Royce Trials Vickers Viscount Wellington
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Vickers Wellington TX LN715, a significant aircraft in aviation history. The Vickers Wellington, a British bomber produced during World War II, was later modified for various roles, including transport and research. In this image, we see the TX version of the Wellington, specifically LN715, which was fitted with two Rolls-Royce Darts for Viscount trials. The Rolls-Royce Darts were a type of turboprop engine, which were undergoing testing to determine their suitability for powering the Viscount, a new commercial transport aircraft being developed by Vickers. The Wellington TX served as an excellent platform for these trials due to its robust design and versatility. The Wellington TX, with its distinctive shape and powerful Rolls-Royce engines, sits proudly on the tarmac against a backdrop of other aircraft and hangars. The engines, visible through the open cowlings, emit plumes of smoke as they are put through their paces during the trials. The crew, dressed in their aviator gear, work diligently around the aircraft, ensuring that all data is recorded for analysis. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the innovation and determination of the aviation industry during the post-war era. The Vickers Wellington TX LN715 and its Rolls-Royce Darts played a crucial role in the development of the Viscount, which would go on to become a successful commercial transport aircraft. This image is a testament to the ingenuity and perseverance of the engineers, pilots, and designers who brought these remarkable machines to life.
