EDITORS COMMENTS
Avro 685 York CMk1 G-AGNV, affectionately known as "Morville," is a historic aircraft that once graced the skies as part of the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) fleet. This magnificent transport plane, manufactured by Avro, is captured in this stunning photograph. The Avro York, a four-engined twin-island design, was a versatile aircraft that served various roles during its service life. Introduced in 1946, it was initially used for passenger and cargo transport but later adapted for use as a VIP transport, ambulance aircraft, and even as a water bomber for forest fires. G-AGNV, Morville, was one of 132 Avro York C.Mk.1s built between 1946 and 1948. Its distinctive livery, featuring the BOAC roundel and registration letters, proudly displays its affiliation with the renowned British airline. The image captures Morville in its prime, with pristine white fuselage and wings, gleaming in the sunlight. The Avro York's impressive dimensions are evident in this photograph, with its wingspan stretching wide and the four engines prominently positioned on the wings. The aircraft's powerful engines, coupled with its spacious interior, made it an ideal choice for long-haul flights during the post-war era. This photograph is a testament to the rich aviation history of the Avro York and its role in the annals of BOAC. Morville, with its regal presence, continues to captivate aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike, reminding us of the golden age of aviation and the remarkable aircraft that shaped the skies.
