Hawker Siddeley Andover

Hawker Siddeley HS.780 Andover C.1 XS601 of No. 46 Squadron at RAF Chivenor on August 7th, 1971.

The Hawker Siddeley HS 780 Andover is a twin-engined turboprop military transport aircraft produced by Hawker Siddeley for the Royal Air Force developed from the Avro-designed HS 748 airliner. The Andover was named after the Avro Andover, a Royal Air Force (RAF) biplane transport used for medical evacuation between the First and Second World Wars; and RAF Andover, where trials of the aircraft were partially carried out. The Andover had a curious kneeling landing gear to make ramp loading easier.
