Video Description

The Hawker Siddeley HS 748 is a British turboprop airliner developed in the 1950s. From the outset, the HS 748 - sometimes called the “Hawker” - was envisioned as a Douglas DC-3 replacement, able to carry between 40 and 48 passengers. Of course, as with many rare airplanes featured on this channel over the years, a few of them are still flying in Canada! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Become a Channel Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN1SQ1Ffsm_13OQu7MwHXbA/join Website: https://www.alexpraglowski.ca Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexpraglowskiaviation Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/AlexPraglowski Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AlexPAviation -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- SOURCES: [1] HS 748 Background https://www.britairliners.org/airliners-article?title=budgiethe-748-story&id=41 https://www.key.aero/article/database-avrohawker-siddeley-748-andover [2] HS 748s Still Flying https://www.baesystems.com/en/heritage/avro-748---avro-748mf https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/glorious-history-of-iaf-avro-748-9948281.html [3] HS 748s in Canada https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/2/CCARCS-RIACC/RchSimpRes.aspx?cn=%7c%7c&mn=HS748%7c&sn=%7c%7c&on=%7c%7c&m=%7c%7c&rfr=RchSimp.aspx https://www.wasaya.com/fleet/hawker-siddeley-748/ https://www.aircreebec.ca/fleet/ [4] Wasaya Airways HS 748 https://www.wasaya.com/fleet/hawker-siddeley-748/ https://www.baytoday.ca/local-business/indigenous-leaders-james-ward-and-wasaya-airways-continue-to-soar-through-the-pandemic-4549109 https://mininglifeonline.net/company-article/our-fleet/1517 [5] HS 748 Operations https://skiesmag.com/news/thepeoplesairlines/ On Canadian Wings: A Century of Flight By Peter Pigott (p. 172) [6] Air North’s HS 748 https://www.flyairnorth.com/sites/default/files/2019-12/4NDocs_Air%20North%20History.pdf https://www.henrytenby.com/a-day-aboard-an-air-north-hawker-siddeley-hs748-spring-2007/ https://skiesmag.com/news/north-of-ordinary/ [7] HS 748 Operational Challenges https://www.tbnewswatch.com/local-news/wasaya-unveils-latest-cargo-aircraft-615634 https://www.chroniclejournal.com/news/local/airbus-makes-pit-stop/article_0f183a8c-39c3-11e6-81bf-d322f8e7a296.html [8] Wasaya Dash 8 Package Freighter https://www.wasaya.com/files/5015/5129/9520/Dash_Freighter.pdf [0] Wasaya and the ATR 72 https://cargofacts.com/allposts/carriers/wasaya-airways-moves-into-atr-72f-platform/ https://www.scramble.nl/civil-news/wasaya-airways-acquires-atr-freighters [10] Air Inuit Large Cargo Door Dash 8-300 https://skiesmag.com/news/air-inuit-changes-course-dash-8-300-large-freighter-door-modification/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Outro song - "Take Flight" by Nyhtian: https://youtu.be/bCTTwQ_269c © Alex Praglowski Aviation 2022 This video is the property of Alex Praglowski Aviation and may not be used for any purpose without prior permission.
