EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Avro 685 York C.1 G-AGNV (msn 1223), a historic aviation icon, as it gracefully sits on the tarmac at Staverton Airport in March 1965. The Avro York, a versatile and significant aircraft in British post-war aviation history, was originally designed as a transport aircraft, but its capabilities extended far beyond that. The York C.1 series, specifically, was an evolution of the original Avro York, featuring improved engines and other modifications that enhanced its performance and versatility. G-AGNV, with its distinctive Avro livery, is a prime example of this advanced design. The serene atmosphere at Staverton Airport in this image belies the Avro York's impressive capabilities. This aircraft was known for its ability to carry large payloads over long distances, making it an essential asset for various roles, including military transport, VIP transport, and even as a flying control tower. As we admire this image, we are transported back in time to an era of innovation and exploration in aviation. The Avro York, and specifically G-AGNV, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the aviation industry during the mid-1960s. This photograph is a treasure from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, offering a unique glimpse into the past and the rich history of flight.
