Hs 748

[Richschindler]

Hope to see this aircraft one day, especially in a airline scheme. There's lots of them to choose from.

I'd love to see this.

There are so many recoloring options for the HS 748, both military and civilian!

Note that the variant used by the RNZAF has an entirely different rear fuselage and fin. It's an HS 780 (Andover C.1), a tactical freighter originally designed for the RAF with an upswept rear fuselage and rear loading ramp. 31 examples were built, 10 of them being sold to NZ in the mid 1970ies. Some were later sold to civilians companies in Kenya and Congo (DRC).

The military Andover CC.2 was a VIP transport variant of the regular HS 748 with the original rear fuslage (6 examples out of 380+ HS 748).

HAL built the HS748 under licence (including 1 AEW prototype). Here is an Indian Air Force HAL 748 series 2M with a large freight door in the rear fuselage.

The last evolution of the family was the BAe ATP airliner in the 1980ies (64 examples).

All links above are to wikipedia pictures.

Here are 3 pics of civilian 780/Andover C.1.
