Product Description

Few aircraft are more at home in the harsh arctic and the wilds of Northern Canada than the reliable, rugged Hawker Siddeley HS748. Many of these excellent, British-built propliners served in Canada over the years, as operators found them ideal on short, gravel strips. Their Dart engines boast plenty of power, and their 11,000-pound payload is ideal for hauling cargo in Canada’s remote North. They can also carry 44-50 passengers in warm comfort and speed.

In this program, we join airline videographer Henry Tenby for 86 ear-piercing minutes of HS748 action. Bring your ear defenders and woolies, as we’re going on three trips out of Yellowknife with First Air. You’ll enjoy time on the flight deck, back in the cargo hold, as well as time in the passenger cabin, enjoying life on the HS748 as she earns her keep. We’ll even help the locals unload hand-balmed cargo on arrival at Spence Bay.

This program features lots of ear-splitting exterior footage showing HS748s at work with First Air and other operators as well, including Air North, Air Creebec, and Calm Air. High fuel prices are now bringing the days of HS748 operations to an end. This program forever preserves the memory of the HS748 in Canada, for generations to come!
