This photograph showcases the sleek and elegant design of the Avro 626, registration number G-ABFM, as it gracefully takes to the sky. The Avro 626, also known as the Tudor Star Twin, was a British twin-engine transport aircraft produced by the Avro Aircraft Company in the late 1940s. With its distinctive wing design and streamlined fuselage, the Avro 626 was a popular choice for both civilian and military operators due to its versatility and reliability. The Avro 626 was powered by two Rolls-Royce Dart Mk.I engines, which provided a cruising speed of around 200 miles per hour and a range of over 1,000 miles. The aircraft could carry up to 12 passengers or a payload of 4,500 pounds. Its versatility was further enhanced by its ability to be easily converted between passenger and freight configurations. This photograph captures the moment of takeoff, as the Avro 626 lifts off the runway, leaving a trail of dust and debris in its wake. The pilots, focused intently on their instruments and the task at hand, are a testament to the skill and expertise required to fly these magnificent machines. The Avro 626 continued in production until 1954, with a total of 152 aircraft built. Today, only a handful of these historic aircraft remain, making this photograph a rare and valuable record of aviation history.
