It has been a good few years since I last saw an airborne HS.748 and I
didn't realise that so many were still in use until I looked at Wiki.

Great to see a nice looking example being put to good use.

I've always liked 748s and, like you I haven't seen one, much less ridden
one, for several years. We got to ride it because the road from Dawson
across to the Alaska highway via Eagle(!) was washed out and Gray Line chose
to fly us instead of driving all the way back to Whitehorse. The interior
is, as one might expect, not very modern and I think Air North have
installed a home made bulkhead at the front of the passenger cabin to
provide a bit more freight space.
