Mar. 03, 1957 - New Bolts For Viscounts: A Viscount airliner will be used as a guinea pig to investigate the bolt fatigue which brought about the Manchester Airport crash last week. Vickers are determined to make absolutely sure that their world-beating plane will be 100 percent safe in future. The first step has been to replace every wing flap bolt in every Viscount which could possibly be in danger. Photo shows A Viscount aircraft having new bolts fitted, after the Ringway crash last week
