Manufactured by Avro and incorporating the wings, tail, undercarriage and engines of the Lancaster bomber, the York was to prove a useful military and civilian transport aircraft in war and peace.
In 1941, Avro designer Roy Chadwick began to sketch out a long range transport aircraft based on the Lancaster. The result became the Avro Type 685 York, and the prototype flew on 5 July 1942.
Production began in 1943 and 258 aircraft were manufactured before construction ceased in November 1946. Yorks were used by the RAF and by a number of British and Commonwealth airlines and charter companies during the 1940s and 1950s. During the Berlin Airlift, Yorks flew 58124 of the 131800 sorties conducted by the RAF. |

Designated the Avro type 685, development began in 1941. The design paired a new "squared-off" fuselage with the wings, tail and undercarriage of the Lancaster bomber. Production was undertaken by Avro with the hopes of sales to both the RAF and in the postwar civil airliner market.
The prototype, LV626, was assembled by Avro's experimental flight department at Manchester's Ringway Airport and first flew there on 5 July 1942. It had initially been fitted with the twin fins and rudders of the Lancaster, but the increased fuselage side area forward of the wing compared to the Lancaster necessitated fitting a third central fin to retain adequate control and directional stability. Initial assembly and testing of production Yorks was at Ringway, later Yeadon (Leeds) and Woodford (Cheshire).
One pattern aircraft was built at Victory Aircraft in Canada, but no further orders were received. Victory tooled up for 30 of those aircraft and built parts for five with one ultimately being completed about the time the war came to an end.
The first civilian York (G-AGJA) was delivered to British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) in 1944. One of the prototypes, named Ascalon, became a flying conference room for Winston Churchill; other Yorks were provided for the use of Lord Mountbatten when Viceroy of India, the Duke of Gloucester when Governor-General of Australia, and South African leader Jan Smuts. In RAF Transport Command service, the York was used on the England-India route.
Production orders included 50 civilian Yorks and 208 military versions to the RAF - many of which subsequently passed into civilian hands. During the Berlin Airlift, Yorks flew over 58,000 sorties - close to half of the British contribution, alongside the Douglas Dakota and Handley Page Hastings.
In the postwar years, BOAC used Yorks on their Cairo to Durban service, which had previously been worked by Shorts flying-boats. They were also used by British South American Airways and many private passenger and freight airlines.
When the Distant Early Warning Line (Dew Line) was being constructed in Canada in the late 1950s, the Avro York was introduced as a freighter by Associated Airways. At least one of the Yorks, CF-HAS, was retained, and was in service with Transair as late as 1961.
The Avro York was, like its stablemates, the Lancaster and Lincoln, a very versatile aircraft; one York, LV633 "Ascalon", was custom-built as the personal transport of Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Ascalon was to be fitted with a special pressurised "egg" so that VIP passengers could be carried without their having to use an oxygen mask. Made of aluminium alloy it had eight perspex windows to reduce claustrophobia. It also had a telephone, instrument panel, drinking facilities and an ashtray with room for cigars, thermos flask, newspapers, books. Testing at RAE Farnborough found the "egg" to work satisfactorily. However, Avro said it was too busy with the new Lancaster IV (Avro Lincoln) work so it was never actually installed in the Ascalon. It was considered for installation in the successor aircraft, a Douglas C-54B but the contractor Armstrong Whitworth decided it was impractical and the project was shelved. The whereabouts of "Churchill's Egg" are presently unknown.
MW104 "Endeavour" flew to Australia in 1945 to become the personal aircraft of HRH The Duke of Gloucester, Australia's then Governor-General. It was operated by the Governor-General's Flight and was the Royal Australian Air Force's only York.
Another aeroplane was fitted out as a "flying office" for Lord Mountbatten, then C-in-C South East Asia Command. During its first major overhaul at Manchester (Ringway) in 1945, the aeroplane was re-painted a light duck egg green, a shade intended to cool down the aeroplane, instead of its former normal camouflage colour scheme.

DJ.. RIMANDALA UN'ALTRA VOLTA
NON SO SE SI SENTE E SE ALLA GENTE IMPORTA
SCONVOLTA DALLA VERITA' DISTORTA
PENSA CHE L'HIP HOP E' MORTO E INVECE HA PRESO UNA SVOLTA
STIAMO FERMI QUI NELLO STESSO CLIMA DI TENSIONE
MENTRE L'HIP HOP E' IN RADIO E IN TELE IN MONDOVISIONE
I SOLITI FORTI DELLA LORO POSIZIONE
TENTANO LA PERSUASIONE SULLE PERSONE
SONO RIUSCITI A SPACCARE UNA NAZIONE
MA NON C'E' COSA CHE FERMI QUESTA PASSIONE
NO! NON C'E' COSA CHE FERMI QUESTA PASSIONE
HO DA PORTARE A TERMINE LA MIA MISSIONE
DOPO UN MESE A NEW YORK SO RITORNATO AL FORO
HO VISTO HIP HOP AD OGNI ANGOLO DEI FIVE BOROUGH
RESISTO PERCHE' SO STATO FUORI DAL CORO
E NON CI STO! A LASCIARLO IN MANO A LORO
E NEL MOMENTO CHE OGNI CERTEZZA SI SGRETOLA
SO CHE C'E' UN AMORE DOVE NON ESISTE REGOLA
E SE PE VOI L'HIP HOP E' MORTO LO RIESUMO
ME LO ROLLO COME METH E RED E ME LO FUMO!

GIRA STA VOCE ARRIVA DA NEW YORK CITY
SE NE PARLA IN TELEVISIONE E SUI SITI
SENZA I PIEDI PER TERRA SI AGGRAPPANO SUI MITI
NON E' UNA GUERRA MA SI CONTANO I FERITI
ANCORA PROVO A MUOVERE IL PASSO PIU' GROSSO
SUONA NUOVO E NON LO UCCIDONO LE MARCHE CHE INDOSSO
ORA MI TROVO SUL BORDO A UN PASSO DAL FOSSO
E IL MIO MODO DI FARE QUANDO MI SALTANO ADDOSSO
E NON CI SONO PAROLE PER QUANTO MI DUOLE
DOVER LEGGERE ANCORA LA PAROLA GAME OVER
VEDE GLI M.O.P. FA PIU' SOLDI COL CROSSOVER
IO SENTO SOLO CHE STA MUSICA MI VUOLE
PERCIO' CONTINUO A FARLO RAPPANDOVI COSE NUOVE
FIN QUANDO CONTINUO A FARLO SALVANDOMI AVRO' LE PROVE
CHE L'HO CAPITO ASCOLTANDOLI CHE MI E' ENTRATO NEL CUORE
L'HIP HOP E' COME FABRI FIBRA... OGNI TANTO MUORE
QUANDO VEDO UN ALTRO ARTISTA CHE FA UN VIDEO
OGNI CONTEST DOVE SI FA UNO STERMINIO
E SE LA PENSI COME LUI ALLORA NON TI INVIDIO
E SE L'HIP HOP MORIRA' SARA' UN SUICIDIO

HO INIZIATO A SPUTA' RIME NER NOVANTASETTE
L'ANNO IN CUI LA GENTE DECIDEVA DE SMETTE
L'ANNO IN CUI LA GENTE DECIDEVA DE METTE
MANETTE ALA GENTE CHE CERCAVA LE VETTE
SE PRODUCEVA ANCORA CO LE LEVETTE
DELL'AKAI E SE REGISTAVA LIVE SULLE CASSETTE
E ALLE JAM NUN C'ERANO E PISCHELLETTE
CHE MENTRE RAPPI SE LEVANO LE MAIETTE
NEI VIDEO RAP NUN C'ERANO CULI E TETTE
E INFATTI NESSUNO LI VOLEVA TRASMETTE
E PE RAPPA' FINO AI DICIASSETTE
IO ME FACEVO ANDATA IN METRO E RITORNO A FETTE
POI FINALMENTE SO ARRIVATI I DICIOTTO
ER DUMILA E L'HIP HOP E' RISPARITO DE BOTTO
E L'HO VISSUTO SOLO STANDOCE SOTTO
SAPESSI QUANTI TESTI ME SO LETTO E TRADOTTO
HO IMPARATO SENZA ESSERE DOTTO
COL MALESSERE MENTALE CHE TE SALE DA FATTO
FACENDO RAP COLL'AMICI IN SALOTTO
E CERCANDO NELLE RIME SOLAMENTE RISCATTO
E SE L'HO FATTO FINO AL DUMILAEOTTO
SENZA BUTTAMME DE SOTTO COME PESSOTTO
MO STO COME LO SHADY SU ROCK BOTTOM
E PURE SE NUN CE CREDI IO ME NE FOTTO
E SI PE NAS E' MORTO NUN C'HO UN SORDO PE LUI
E SE TE JE DAI RAGIONE SEI PIU' MORTO DE LUI
ME LO RICORDO CHE E' RISORTO DA MOMENTI PIU' BUI
TE DAMME TORTO MA MORIREMO PRIMA DE LUI |
