EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Hawker Siddeley HS748 Series 2As, ZK-CWJ and ZK-DES, grace the tarmac at Queenstown Airport in New Zealand, framed by the majestic Remarkables Range. The HS748, a versatile and reliable twin-engine turboprop aircraft, was manufactured by Hawker Siddeley between 1960 and 1982. This particular variant, Series 2A, was introduced in 1968 and featured improved avionics and increased fuel capacity. ZK-CWJ and ZK-DES, both belonging to Mount Cook Airlines, sit side by side in this image. The pristine white aircraft, with their distinctive hump-backed fuselages and winglets, exude an air of sophistication and power. The wings of ZK-CWJ are angled slightly, as if ready for takeoff, while ZK-DES appears to be undergoing maintenance, with its engine cowlings removed, revealing the intricate machinery within. The Remarkables Range, a stunning mountain range located near Queenstown, serves as a breathtaking backdrop to this scene. The snow-capped peaks and lush green valleys create a picturesque contrast to the industrial landscape of the airport. The clear blue sky and the sun's rays peeking through the clouds further enhance the beauty of the moment. This photograph captures the essence of aviation and the awe-inspiring power and grace of these aircraft, as they sit amidst the natural splendor of the New Zealand landscape. The HS748 Series 2As, ZK-CWJ and ZK-DES, are a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of aeronautical engineering, and their presence at Queenstown Airport continues to inspire and captivate all who witness them.
