	Avro
		Avro was a British aircraft manufacturer, well known for planes such as the Avro Lancaster which served in World War II.
		A twin turboprop airliner, the Avro 748, was developed during the 1950s and sold widely across the globe, powered by two Rolls Royce Dart engines.
		The Royal Flight of the United Kingdom bought a few and a variant with a rear-loading ramp and a "kneeling" main undercarriage was sold to the RAF and several members of The Commonwealth as the Andover, named after a town in Hampshire.

	Avro C-91
		The Avro 748 was a small short-range turboprop airliner designed by Avro in the late 1950s as a replacement for the now-aged DC-3's then in widespread service as feederliners.
		Avro concentrated on performance, notably for STOL operations, and found a dedicated market and was eventually produced to 380 examples, second only to the Vickers Viscount.
		Avro was not the only company to see the potential for a DC-3 replacement, and by this point the Fokker F27 Friendship was well advanced.

	Airliners.net: Hawker Siddeley HS-748
		Avro designed the 748 in a bid to re-enter the civil market in the 1950s in anticipation of a decline in its military aircraft business (following Britain's famous 1957 Defence White paper).
		Surfacing as the Avro 748 in 1958, the project became part of the Hawker Siddeley group when it formed in 1959 with the merger of several British aviation companies, including Armstrong Whitworth, Avro, Blackburn, De Havilland, Folland, Gloster, and Hawker.
		The most advanced 748 variant, the Super 748, was an improved version of the 2B and made its first flight in July 1984.

	AVRO
		The aircraft produced at Chadderton in recent years, the Avro 748 and ATP Advanced Turboprop airliners and components for the BAe 146 and RJ Regional Jet Avroliner, may not be as familiar as their predecessors, but are no less significant in the world's air transport industry.
		The 748, which by that time was known as the Hawker Siddeley 748, but still 'E1 Avro' in most Latin countries, was proving to be an excellent aeroplane with a fine reputation for its versatility, reliability and above all safety even when operating in the roughest areas and extreme temperatures.
		As the 748 was reaching the end of its production 1andfe approval was given for manufacture of the Advanced Turboprop ATE airliner with Chadderton supplying fuselage, wings and other major components to Woodford in the same process as when the Greengate plant opened in 1939.
