Its always great to see these old 50s aircraft and in an airlines colours aswell.

A visitor from - posted Sun September 19, 2010:
It wasn't successful because it was way out of date before it even entered service. Most other aircraft being made at this time had a nosewheel and transatlantic range. It was a complete anachronism. Also several were lost in accidents, two in the Bermuda Triangle I believe. Wasn't it the Tudor where the controls were rigged backwards in one of the prototypes and it crashed, killing the designer, Roy Chadwick?

A visitor from Germany posted Mon March 29, 2010:
Right, the tailwheel is so low the belly almost scratches the turf and the vertical stabilizer as a whole appears almost anachronistic. Funny design. Why didn't it survive on the market?

Nice aircraft but very, very low rearend.
