Hawker-Siddeley 748 & Andover in Military Service. Author Adrian Balch 56 pages
Making its first flight on 24 June 1960 the prototype AVRO 748, G-APZV, became a very successful rugged replacement for the many DC-3 Dakotas flying around the world. In production, it became the second most successful British turboprop transport aircraft and was only superseded in numbers produced by those of the Vickers Viscount.
A total of 381 Hawker Siddeley HS 748 aircraft were built, including eighty-nine manufactured under license by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) in India, with production running from 1960 to 1988 for this successful turboprop airliner and its military variant, the Andover. The total included, thirty-seven Andovers for the RAF and RNZAF.
Over fifty military HS 748s were sold, seventy-two for the Indian Air Force, plus others for RAAF, Brazilian Air Force and others, making a substantial portion of the 381 total built, with many going to various air forces worldwide for roles like transport, navigation training and VIP transports. The HS748 was selected for the Royal Family as the Andover CC.2 and three of them served The Queen's Flight faithfully and reliably for over twenty years from 1964
There are other publications that focus on all the civil airlines that have operated the HS748, but as a Warpaint publication, this is the first time all those that saw military service with air forces around the world have been featured-and nearly all in over 160 top quality colour photographs with notes on colour schemes and markings. This is another quality Warpaint by author Adrian Balch, supported by accurate profile drawings by artist Sam Pearson and a must-have addition for aviation historians and modellers alike.
