	Avro Tudor - passenger
		The original Type 688 Tudor was conceived in 1943 to Specification 29/43 as a commercial conversion of the Lancaster for use over the North Atlantic as a quick replacement for the bomber-transports then being used.
		As then envisaged, the Tudor was to be a modification of the Lancaster IV (later the Lincoln) with a new pressurised fuselage to carry a load of 1,705kg over 6,400km.
		Two Tudor Is of BOAC contract modified to have lengthened fuselage of the Mk 4 for use by BSAAC, but retaining the flight engineer's station as on Mk I. Accommodation for 28 passengers.

	Avro Tudor Information
		The Avro Tudor was a piston-engined airliner based on Avro's four-engine Lincoln bomber, itself a descendant of the famous Avro Lancaster.
		Avro began work on the Type 688 Tudor in 1943, following Specification 29/43 for a commercial adaptation of the Lancaster IV bomber, which was later renamed Lincoln.
		Early Tudors had a short, rounded, fin and rudder; this was discovered to provide insufficient directional stability, and so in later aircraft a taller, straight-edged, fin/rudder combination of greater overall area was fitted.

	Avro Lincoln Information
		It was a development of the Avro Lancaster, built to the Air Ministry Specification B.14/43, having a larger wingspan with two-stage supercharged Rolls-Royce Merlin 85 engines, bigger fuselage, and with bigger fuel and bomb loads.
		The Avro Shackleton maritime patrol aircraft was derived from the Lincoln.

	Avro Information
		AVRO is also the name of a Dutch public-service broadcasting organization.
		Avro was a British aircraft manufacturer, well known for planes such as the Avro Lancaster which served in World War II.
		The older Avro York was somewhat more successful in both the RAF and in commercial service, being distinguished by a fuselage square in cross-section.

		The Tudor was a pressurised but problematic post-war Avro airliner that faced strong competition from designs by Bristol, Canadair, Douglas, Handley Page and Lockheed.
		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
		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 Avro Anson was-already in production and serving with the RAF and a number of other countries after pre-war deliveries was soon alongside the Blenheim, but the Company was pinning its hopes on the new Avro Manchester bomber.
		Tragically it was in a Tudor that Chadwick one of the world's great aircraft designers, lost his life when one of these aircraft crashed at Woodford on August 23 1947.

		This was designed for 28 passengers and, like the more successful Avro 748[?], Handley-Page Dart Herald and Fokker Friendship[?], was powered by two Rolls-Royce Dart turboprop engines.
		Some Avro Tudor airliners were adapted to carry freight.
		Twenty-one Douglas DC-4[?] airliners were converted to car ferries, a task that included raising their cockpits high above the original fuselage and hinging a bulbous nose built beneath through which up to six cars could be loaded by means of a ground-based ramp.

		He played a central role in the early days of delta wing experimental flying as a test pilot, first of the Avro 707 series of aircraft, after which he piloted the Avro Vulcan - the most succesful of Britain's V bombers - on its maiden flight.
		After the war he went to Vickers Armstrong and after recovering from a major accident in a Wellington moved to Avro in 1950.
		He was pilot in charge of the Avro 707 tests which provided the experience of delta winged aircraft that led to the Avro Vulcan which he first piloted in 1952.

		The first train of thinking was along the lines of a modified Avro Lincoln, but instead A.V. Roe & Co went back to the drawing board to meet the rewritten Specification R.5/46.
		The fuselage of the Avro Type 696 was almost the same length as that of the Lincoln, but almost double the internal volume.
		The rest of the airframe was typically that of the Lincoln, with various parts borrowed from the Avro Tudor.

	Testing The Avro Jetliner
		While in England and at Avro's, we flew the jet-engined version of the Avro Tudor, which was a funny kind of airplane because again it was a conversion of the Lancaster using a commercial type of fuselage, still with a tail wheel undercarriage.
		At the same time Avro was designing pure jet engines since we started out with the Chinook as a sort of trial run and then built the Orenda engine which, by the standard of those days, was a very modern design.
		I think that if Avro Canada had retained the Jetliner program until their military production was going smoothly, Avro might very well still be in business today in the commercial field.

	Lancaster History - © 1999/2000 Suchiu Galleries
		Roy Chadwick, the designer of the AVRO Lancaster, who has been described as ‘one’ of the two or three top designers of this century, was born in England, at Farnworth near Widnes, Lancashire.
		All the 500 AVRO series of airplanes, including the AVRO 504 of W.W.I passed through his hands, in the design stage.
		In 1933 the AVRO 18, a welded steel tube, fabric-covered 16-seat plane, was soon converted for the RAF into the AVRO Anson, a light bomber and transport plane.

	British South American Airways at AllExperts
		The airline operated mostly Avro aircraft: Yorks, Lancastrians and Tudors, and flew to Bermuda, the West Indies and the western coast of South America.
		The loss without trace of the Tudors Star Tiger and Star Ariel are often quoted to validate the existence of a mystery zone in the Bermuda Triangle, and the loss of the Lancastrian Star Dust in the Andes after sending a partly unreadable radio message has been named the Stendec incident.
		The discovery in 2000 of the wreckage of Star Dust appears to indicate a perfectly mundane accident, and there can be no serious doubt that the Tudors were also lost to the natural hazards of aviation of the times.

		The Australian Aircraft Restoration Group is pleased of announce the arrival and pending donation of major components of an Avro Lincoln Bomber, towards future restoration of a complete aircraft for static display at the Australian National Aviation Museum at Moorabbin.
		At this same time development of the Lancaster design by Avro had lead to an intended "much improved" mark IV being developed, incorporating a new wing of greater span, a lengthened fuselage, greater fuel capacity and larger/more powerful merlin engines with four bladed propellers.
		With the war turning in the allies favour in Europe, the RAF turned its attention to entering the Pacific War and intended to create a dedicated "Tiger Force" consisting of the new Avro Lincoln Bomber, with its improved range and performance allowing the RAF to match the USAF's deployment of their new B-29 Bomber.

		Remarks by Jack McKillop: "This aircraft was ordered by the Ministry of Supply and Aircraft Production for the RAF which assigned it RAF s/n TS868 however, the order was cancelled and the Ministry took delivery on September 5, 1945 and registered it G-AGRE.
		British Overseas Airways (BOAC) were interested in the Tudor but BOAC's requirements had changed since the original order was placed and the shorter than planned range meant that the Tudor was no longer suitable for BOAC service.
		The aircraft was transferred to the Ministry of Civil Aviation in November 1946 and was converted to a Model 688 Tudor Mk.4B by stretching the fuselage 6 ft (1.83 m), providing accommodations for 28-passengers and retaining the flight engineer's position of the Mk.1.

	Last of the Tudor IVs -- Monday, Mar. 14, 1949 -- Page 1 -- TIME
		The Ministry of Supply, which buys all aircraft for the government's three big international lines, ordered 16 Tudor Is for British Overseas Airways Corp. When the Tudor Is were tested, their performance was so poor that BOAC refused to accept them.
		That meant that the remaining 32 Tudors were grounded except for overland freight hops, experimental work and gasoline tanker duties on the Berlin airlift.
		This was small consolation to airmen or British taxpayers who had paid an estimated $28 to $40 million for the governmental bungling that had caused the flop.
