Originally the Avro 748, subsequently the Hawker Siddeley 748, has proved to be a very successful airliner with over 370 built in the UK and a further 89 assembled in India. Powered by two Rolls-Royce Dart turboprop engines, the 748 entered service in 1960 and was the last type to carry the name of Avro until it was re-introduced in 1992 for the Avro RJ. The 748 also served in the RAF as a transport aircraft and was called the Andover. This aircraft had a lengthened fuselage and a rear-loading door.

A number of HS 748 have been converted into Freighter versions and operate throughout the world.

AM&PS produce all publications for the HS748.
