British firm Avro in the late 1950s as a
replacement for the now-agedDC-3s then in
widespread service as feederliners. Avro
concentrated
on
performance,
notably
for STOL operations, and found a dedicated
market. 380 aircraft were built by Hawker
Siddeley. A larger development, the Bee
ATP, attempted to compete with the de Havilland
Canada Dash 8 but saw a limited production run.
