Hawker Siddeley HS748 Dart Action at the South Terminal
Details
Attention Rolls Royce Dart engine Freaks! Hear ye! Hear ye! A fabulous ear-splitting Avro HS-748 is about to start her engines. Hear ye while you still can, because the Dart engine packs one hell of a whine as she winds up to ear splitting speed once the passengers are safely aboard.
This HD video by JetFlix TV founder Henry Tenby takes us back to the summer of 2014 at YVR’s South Terminal, when Air North HS748s were still operating passenger fishing charters from the South Terminal. We could never get on one of these fabulous aircraft out of the South Terminal for love nor money as the fishing companies did want any part of us visiting their operation offering our video and photographic services in contra for a flight. Very frustrating! But they couldn’t stop us from setting up our tripod and filming the proceedings from the observation deck platform at the South Terminal.
This 10 minute HD video takes the view to front and centre to witness the passengers boarding, engine start up, and full taxi and take-off sequence, and a lovely summer’s day morning during that memorable summer. Henry Tenby made many trips out to the airfield to film the 748s coming and going, more of which will be shared here on JetFlix TV. In the meantime, this ear-splitting clip will serve to wet the appetite!
