G-AHNN Avro 688 Tudor
4B
(c/n 1347)
Only the Tudor Marks 4 and 5 made
it to operational service, and the latter mainly on the Berlin Air
Lift. The Mark 4, seen
above, was basically a Mark 1 adapted for service with British South
Amer-
ican Airways (BSAA).
This variation had an engineer's compartment and seating was scaled back
to
28 (from 45). Even with 28, the distribution of windows does not
look to be one per seat row.
When BSAA was merged into
BOAC in 1949 the Tudors, which had had a series of unfortunate
(and mysterious) accidents were not picked up by the new
corporation. G-AHNN along with several
other Tudor 4Bs
was scrapped in 1953.
