Greetings everyone! :D

This week, we look at truly an unsung hero of 1950s aviation, the Airspeed Ambassador.

In truth, the Ambassador's reason to exist was scant at best, being developed under the Brabazon Committee as simply a backup in case the flagship Viscount turboprop failed to make it through its turbulent conception.

However, once in service, and against its approaching withdrawal as the Viscounts began to appear in the mid-1950s, the Ambassador fell into a fleeting position as a dedicated all-first class flying machine with a Pullman style interior and lavish service quality, thus creating what was often dubbed the Rolls-Royce of the skies.
