HS 780 AndoverAndover C1RoleManufacturerFirst flight21 December 1963Retired2015StatusRetiredPrimary usersNumber built37Developed fromThe Hawker Siddeley HS 780 Andover is a twin-engined military transport aircraft produced by for the (RAF), developed from the -designed airliner. The Andover was named after the, a biplane transport used by the RAF for medical evacuation between the first and second world wars; and, where some of its trials were carried out. The Andover had a kneeling landing gear to make ramp loading easier. Contents.Design and development At the start of the 1960s the (RAF) issued a requirement for a medium tactical freighter and Avro started work on a military variant of the -powered twin-engined airliner. Also proposed a variant of the and both types were tested by the Air Force in February 1962 at Martlesham Heath in Suffolk. A prototype Avro 748 Srs 2 was used for the trials.The RAF decided to order a military variant of the 748, designated the Avro 780; and the original Avro 748 prototype was modified with an upswept rear fuselage and rear loading ramp as the Avro 748MF, to test the military version. It had more powerful Dart Mk 301s engines and a unique kneeling landing gear.

In April 1963, the RAF ordered 31 aircraft as the by the RAF. The 748MF first flew from on 21 December 1963. The aircraft had larger four-bladed propellers than the 748, which required a greater distance between the engines and the fuselage, although the wingtips were reduced by 18 inches to maintain the same wingspan as the 748.
A dihedral tailplane was also fitted to keep it clear of the propeller slipstream.The first production Andover C.1 flew from Woodford on 9 July 1965 and the first four aircraft were used for trials and tests with Hawker Siddeley and the at Boscombe Down. Following a release to service in May 1966, the fifth production aircraft was delivered to at in June 1966.
Subsequent RAF types are the Andover CC.2 transport and Andover E.3 electronic calibration aircraft.Operational history. Andover CC.2 of 60 Squadron RAF in 1987The Andover C.1 was flown for the first time on 9 July 1965 and the first four examples were flown to for acceptance trials that year. The full contract of 31 aircraft were delivered to squadrons in Transport Command. These were No.
46 Squadron RAF at RAF Abingdon and later, at (Far East) and at (Middle East).There was a follow-on order placed with Hawker Siddeley for six aircraft as the CC.2, a version of the standard HS 748, and these went initially to 21 Squadron at. The squadron had these for six months before being disbanded; the aircraft went to 32 Squadron at, the Metropolitan Communications Squadron. The aircraft were with 32 Squadron for over 18 years, including some time spent on detachment at (Germany).Three of the RAF Andovers continued to fly into the second decade of the 21st century, a C.1 with the and one C.1 with the Heavy Aircraft Test Squadron of the Joint Test and Evaluation Group. The remaining aircraft was a modified C.1 converted for photo-, the Andover C.1(PR), serial number XS596; the UK-named aircraft under the; all three were based at RAF Boscombe Down.The operated ten aircraft from 1976, acquired from the RAF while still relatively new.
These saw service with and on the Iran-Iraq border and in disaster-relief work in the Pacific. The type was retired from service in 1998. The main difficulty with the Andover's service in New Zealand was its limited range—1,000 nmi (1,900 km) of Pacific Ocean separates New Zealand from its nearest neighbours. New Zealand's Andovers were purchased to replace the which had even shorter range.Variants Avro 748MF Prototype converted to military prototype which included an upswept rear fuselage and rear loading ramp and unique kneeling landing gear. Andover C.1 First production series for RAF, 31 aircraft built. Andover C.1(PR) Two C1 aircraft was converted for Photographic Reconnaissance duties. Andover CC.2 Not a variant of the cargo/transport Andover but a transport version of the HS 748.
Andover E.3 / E.3A Seven C.1 aircraft were converted for radio and airport nav aid calibration. Four aircraft were equipped with an inertial referenced flight inspection system (IRFIS) and were designated E3. The other three aircraft didn’t have this equipment installed, and were designated E3A.
