This aircraft, registered XS595, was the second example of the Hawker Siddeley Andover C1 series, which was primarily designed for maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare missions. The Andover C1 was a significant development in the field of military aviation, featuring advanced technology and capabilities for its time. Its twin turboprop engines provided impressive power and efficiency, enabling it to cover long distances and operate in various weather conditions. The aircraft's distinctive hump-backed fuselage housed an advanced radar system, which was essential for detecting submarines and surface targets at long ranges.
