The Hawker Siddeley HS 748 is a British turboprop airliner developed in the 1950s.

From the outset, the HS 748 - sometimes called the “Hawker” - was envisioned as a Douglas DC-3 replacement, able to carry between 40 and 48 passengers.

Of course, as with many rare airplanes featured on this channel over the years, a few of them are still flying in Canada!
