	Avro York - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Avro York was a passenger and freight transport of the 1940s, in both military and civilian applications.
		At the RAF Cosford Collection is Avro 685 York C1, TS798 (cn 1223) which was delivered new to the RAF as TS798, then to BOAC and Skyways (G-AGNV), then to Staverton, Brize Norton and Shawbury.
		More interestingly, Avro York LV633 'Ascalon' was to be fitted with a special pressurised 'egg' so that VIP passengers could be carried without their having to use an oxygen mask.

	Avro (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Avro Manchester, Lancaster, Lincoln and post-war Vulcan bombers were particularly famous Avro designs.
		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.
		When the company was absorbed into Hawker Siddeley Aviation in July 1963 the Avro name seemed to have disappeared forever but the brand had such a strong heritage appeal that the marketing name "Avro RJ" (regional jet) was applied to the British Aerospace 146 from 1994 to 2001.

	Avro 685 York
		Avro’s chief designer, Roy Chadwick, made a redesign of the Lancaster bomber first flown in January of 1941.
		The York first prototype (LV626) was flown from Ringway on 5th July 1942, only 5 months after Chadwick’s drawing was given to the experimental department.
		The central fin became standard on all further Yorks.

		The first planes used by the company were the Avro York[?], DC-3, DC-6[?] and Vickers Viscount[?] types.
		The much desired route to New York was opened in 1970 with Boeing 707 aircraft, but those aircraft were later replaced on the route with Boeing 747SP jets in 1976.
		Because of that, the 747SP's began to be used heavily on the airline's European and Asian routes.

	Avro 685 York (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		One of the wartime agreements concluded between Britain and the United States allocated to the Americans responsibility for building all transport aircraft for Allied use, enabling the British aircraft industry to concentrate on fighters and bombers.
		During 1945 No. 511 Squadron at Lyneham became the first to receive a full complement of Yorks, with 10 squadrons eventually flying the aircraft in RAF service, and seven of these squadrons were equipped in time to take part in the Berlin Airlift from 1 July 1948.
		York Mk II - One of the prototypes was re-engined to accept the 1,615 hp (1205 kW) Bristol Hercules XVls late in 1943, being redesignated York Mk II.

	Avro-685 York

		Production of the York continued until April 1948, when the 253rd and last machine of this type was delivered.
		A number of war surplus York military transports and post-war built civil freighters remained in service with non-scheduled operators in various parts of the world.

	NLS - Lancasters After The War
		The Avro York was designed as a long-range transport aircraft and employed the same wings, undercarriage, and engines as the Lancaster.
		The York played a major role in the "Berlin Air Lift" of 1948 when the Soviet Union cut off land access to what was then the former German capital and the Allies flew in some 2,500,000 tons of supplies.
		So the Avro Lancaster, which played such a pivotal role during World War II, was part of a long lineage spanning some six decades which began with the Manchester design of 1936 and continued until the last flight of the Shackleton in the late 1980's.

		Also, in 1929, the Air Ministry decided to replace the Avro 504 type training aircraft, which had been in use with the RAF since 1917; and a competition was held, to decide which company would build a replacement.
		Lord Louis Mount batten's personal plane was an Avro York, when he was Viceroy of India; and when The Duke of Gloucester was Governor General of Australia, his personal aircraft was the York "Endeavour".
		The new machine was named the Avro Lancastrian; and was delivered to The Empire Air Navigation School at RAF Shawbury.The first plane was called Aries, and it set off on the first, circumnavigation of the world.

	Testing The Avro Jetliner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.

	ADF Serials - RAAF A74 Avro York
		Although the RAAF identification number A74 was allocated, the York retained the original serial MW140, but the RAF markings were exchanged for the contemporary RAAF blue and white roundels and flashes.
		The York was used for long-range flights including the Duke's tour of New Guinea, New Britain, and Bougainville Island.
		The flight was terminated on July 5 1945, because of the death of the Prime Minister, the Rt Hon John Curtin.

		Shortly after becoming airborne the boost enrichment capsule in the carburetor of the no. 1 engine failed, causing a fire in the engine.

	Welcome to the TMA History Pages
		With his strong vision and personality, and with the support of several politicians M. Abou Haidar was able to circumvent the legal obstacles that prevented the transfer of that license, and TMA was able to carry out its own independent operations using a fleet of 2 Avro Yorks on July 24th 1956.
		While continuing to fly charters for ARAMCO, TMA (amidst strong opposition from MEA and, ironically Air Liban) was able to obtain the license for operating scheduled cargo operations in 1959 and to initiate such services to Frankfurt, Baghdad and Teheran using a Douglas DC-4 recently added to the fleet.
		The airline's safety record was questionnable during these first years of operation; as many as 4 of its aircraft (1 Avro York and 3 DC4s) were lost in successive crashes between 1961 and 1963.
