FS2004 RAF Avro 685 York C1 LV633
The third prototype became Winston Churchill's personal flying
conference room. It was luxuriously fitted out and had square windows
instead of the characteristic row of circular ones. Delivered on April
30, 1943, to RAF A&AEE, it was transferred to No. 24 Squadron on May 28,
1943, and named "ASCALON" after St. George's sword. The Prime Minister
used it to fly to allied conferences at Moscow (1943), Cairo (1943),
Teheran (1943) and Yalta (1945). On another occasion, it served as the
personal aircraft of King George VI during his tour of North Africa in
1943. On June 10, 1954 it was struck off charge and finally broken up at
North Coates, Lincolnshire. Gmax exterior model and paintkit by Manfred
Jahn, FDE by Paul Edwards, repainted by Hans Hermann, Virtual Birds
Factory.
