About
A four-engined piston airliner built for BOAC's empire routes, and the civil counterpart of the Hastings transport. The prototype crashed on its first flight. No type certificate for it is reachable — the FAA's regulatory system is closed to us and EASA never held the type — so this entry carries its history but none of the certified weights the rest of the library is built on.
