Parked out by the bushes opposite the terminal, Avro York EP-ADA of Persian Air Services (PAS) awaits further maintenance on its No 2 Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. With technical assistance from British company Skyways, PAS operated a service to Europe and later became part of IranAir. York EP-ADA was damaged beyond repair during a forced landing owing to engine failure near Basra in September 1955.

Регистрационный номерRegistry number: LV-XGD   [3], LV-XGO   [3], G-AMGM   [3], LV-AFY   [3]

We are reminded by a photograph from Mr.G.Terry that before the LV-P.. series came into use there were other instances of delivery marks being used. His photo shows Avro York LV-XGO c/n 1355 before delivery to Flota Aerea Mercante Argentina in 1946. On arrival it became LV-AFY and was later to be Surrey Flying Services G-AMGM. Does any reader know whether the registration LV-XGD was one of a temporary series or was the York simply ordered by the Argentine Government, the proper users of this block, and handed over to the airline after delivery? The airline titles are, incidentally, clearly visible on the original print.

Aeroplane Monthly 1984-02 / L.Coombs - Cockpits of the RAF (5)

This pilot's place, just about merits the name “flight deck": Wg Cdr D. R. Donaldson sits at the controls of Endeavour, HRH the Duke of Gloucester's Avro York, early in 1945. Pilot and copilot each had a set of flight instruments, but shared the engine instruments and controls, which can be seen in rows of four between them and on the roof console. The wireless operator's panel is below and behind the pilot on the left; the navigator's panel is at top right.

В 1950-х годах ряд гражданских авиакомпаний, эксплуатирующих York, привлекались для военных перевозок. Иногда их самолетам даже присваивались военные обозначения, причем многие машины ранее служили в ВВС.

Регистрационный номерRegistry number: XG898, G-ANRC, MW327

News report of 23.9.54 showing the accident to Avro York XG898 (previously G-ANRC and MW327) at Stansted the day before. The accompanying article raised the issue of greater safety of rearward-facing seats in accidents while recognising the discipline of service passengers in this case.
22.9.54 Avro York G-ANRC of Scottish Aviation swung on take-off at Stansted on trooping flight and burned out. Capt A Brandt, five crew and 45 troops on board, en route to Egypt, were evacuated with only one injured but the York was dbf. Formerly RAF MW327 from 27.11.47 to 22.2.52, it was sold to Scottish Avn 28.4.54 and used trooping serial XG898 before being regd G-ANRC on 23.7.54. Was it using trooping serial on this flight?
22.9.54 On page 96/57 we posed the question of what marks the Scottish Aviation York G-ANRC was wearing when it crashed on a trooping flight at Stansted. The news cutting above clearly shows that trooping serial XG898 was being carried behind the roundel while part of the over-painted civil registration is visible forward of it. The Scottish Aviation lion is retained on the fin.
