This thread is for detailed pics of Viscount frames and forks, in particular their various attributes and idiosyncrasies. Things like whether your dropouts have an integrated derailleur hanger and axle adjusters or not (like mine! 
); different kinds of lugs from non-Aerospace frames, different chromoly forks; internal views of tubing get extra kudos.
In short, anything related to the bones of a Viscount.
I'll start it off with the pics I took of my Aerospace Sport's brake bridge, which I had assumed was simply drilled tube. The rear brake caliper now has quite a deal of play, so I had feared that the years had meant this hole was stretching, so I took the frame to have a reinforced brake bridge brazed in. But I should have done the frame stripping myself, because the Jeweller found that the bridge is already reinforced. So the hole for the brake caliper mounting bolt had flanged a bit, but it wasn't going to get any worse as I had feared.
