I am from Uruguay, 85. I flew in HS 748 in the sixties. They were used by Argentine Airlines (AR) on the "air bridge" MVD/ BUE/ MVD. Good aircraft indeed. I also flew in the Japanese NAMCO YS-11 (Austral Airlines-AU), same route. A solid, dependable airliner.

You left out Mt Cook Airlines in NZ who operated these for 28 years & loved this aircraft. No other 50 seat plane of the 748 era was as rugged or do the job as well as this aircraft. You say little known-- any plane buff knows the 748, my bro...

What about the Japanese YS-11? Very similar?

[@Tinoaviation]

It is not mentioned due to it having nothing to do with the 748. Tho they do look similar, they dint take anything from the 748 - thanks for watching!

[@gilbertotrevisan6538]

Yep, they're very similar in the looks, sort of a bigger version of the Avro and a fantastic airplane, a little bit underpowered for it's weight and size nonetheless...

Sales so bad with over 500 units sold ?

[@gilbertotrevisan6538]

Besides it's fantastic engines, the plane itself are a piece of sh....The wings cracked right under the landing gears, the avionics and electric systems were a nightmare to work, there was some places where only a pigmeo could fit to do maintenance...to mention a few things...
