EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Avro 618 Avro Ten aircraft, specifically the registration G-aSP and its nickname Achilles. The Avro Ten, designed by the Avro Company in the 1930s, was a versatile transport aircraft that could be configured for various roles, including passenger, freight, and mail transport. The aircraft in this image appears to be in a basic transport configuration, with its distinctive twin-boom design and four Bristol Pegasus engines prominently displayed. The Avro Ten, also known as the Avro Type 618, was an ambitious project for its time, with a wingspan of 88 feet and a length of 77 feet. It could carry up to 24 passengers or a payload of 12,000 pounds. Despite its impressive capabilities, the Avro Ten faced stiff competition from other transport aircraft, such as the Douglas DC-3, and only a handful were built before production ceased in 1939. This photograph captures the Avro Ten, G-aSP, Achilles, in all its glory, with its sleek lines and powerful engines. The image was likely taken during a test flight or demonstration, as the aircraft appears to be in pristine condition. The background is clear, allowing the Avro Ten to take center stage and showcase its unique design and engineering prowess. The Avro Ten may not have achieved the commercial success of other transport aircraft, but it remains an important part of aviation history. This photograph is a testament to its enduring legacy and the ingenuity of the engineers and designers who brought it to life.
