CC-CED British
Aerospace 748
(c/n 1615)
The BAe 748 started life as an Avro
design. It was, in fact, the last aircraft built under the
Avro
name. This organization was taken over first, by Hawker Siddeley,
and ultimately by
British Aerospace. Some 400 or so 748s were built. LAN
Chile ordered nine of them
(from
Hawker Siddeley) and flew them on mainly internal Chilean services.
