The last radio contact was at 09:42, when the crew informed Bermuda that they had passed latitude 30° N and were changing frequency to Kingston. Nothing more was heard from the flight; no wreckage of the aircraft was found. Weather conditions at the time of the disappearance were good: northerly winds of 36 knots (approximately 60 km/h), no clouds above FL100 (3000 m - cruising altitude being FL180 - 6000 m) and icing level at FL140 (3300 m). The aircraft was only two months old and no recent problems had been reported. *Probable Cause:* “For lack of evidence, due to the fact that no wreckage of the aircraft has been found, the cause of the accident remains unknown.” By now you’ve become familiar with these planes, and before you skip ahead to avoid my introduction to this plane, perhaps, however unlikely, you’ve wondered: why on God’s green earth did they use this plane? Well, they were different, if only slightly. Star Dust was an Avro Lancastrian, Star Tiger was an Avro Tudor 4, and this one is also different – an Avro Tudor 4b. However, you won’t like the answer: the British. Let me explain. Some planes get a sinister reputation. One such plane was the Avro Tudor, a passenger plane designed by Roy Chadwick, Avro’s chief engineer, in 1944, using the wings, engines and landing gear of the Avro Lincoln bomber. The Tudor was not an ideal passenger plane. It consumed a lot of fuel due to its four Merlin engines, had a tendency to bank on takeoff and had sudden stall characteristics.
