From the back of the box:
The VICKERS ARMSTRONGS VISCOUNT 800 is the most successful British civil aircraft yet produced. The wing span is 94 ft, its length 85 ft, and its maximum weight, including payload, 62,000 lbs. As used by B.E.A., it has accommodation for 57 passengers.
At present, the VICKERS ARMSTRONGS VISCOUNT 800 is fitted with four Rolls-Royce Dart 510 series turbo-prop engines. These give it a cruising speed of 310 m.p.h. The development in the near future of the Viscount 800 series aircraft will achieve a cruising speed of 400 m.p.h.

This British European Airways (BEA) livery dates from the 1950s. Those fans of Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day will recognize this plane from the early scenes of the 1956 movie, The Man Who Knew Too Much.
