EDITORS COMMENTS
Avro York G-AGNV TS798, formerly known as CN 1223, is a rare and historic aviation treasure housed at the Skyfame Museum in Staverton Airport. This iconic aircraft, painted as Winston Churchill's personal transport LV633 Ascalon, transports visitors back in time to the early 1960s. The Avro York, a versatile British transport aircraft, first took to the skies in 1946. Its spacious cabin and ability to carry large payloads made it a popular choice for both civilian and military applications. However, this particular York, G-AGNV, gained notoriety for its unique connection to Sir Winston Churchill. Churchill, the renowned British statesman and Prime Minister, used LV633 Ascalon as his personal transport from 1955 until 1963. The aircraft was specially modified to accommodate his needs, including the installation of a bedroom, a bathroom, and a sitting room. Churchill's personal touch was evident in the interior, which boasted a grand fireplace, a writing desk, and even a small bar. After Churchill's retirement from politics in 1955, LV633 Ascalon was sold to a private owner. However, its history did not end there. The aircraft was eventually acquired by the Skyfame Museum in Staverton Airport, where it remains a cherished piece of aviation history. The print of Avro York G-AGNV TS798 at the Skyfame Museum captures the essence of this remarkable aircraft, transporting us back to a time when the skies held the promise of adventure and the thrill of the unknown. Circa 1963, this Avro York stands as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the aviation industry and the enduring legacy of Sir Winston Churchill.
