File Description:
The third prototype became Winston Churchill's personal flying conference room. It was luxuriously fitted out and had square windows instead of the characteristic row of circular ones. Delivered on April 30, 1943, to RAF A&AEE, it was transferred to No. 24 Squadron on May 28, 1943, and named "ASCALON" after St. George's sword. The Prime Minister used it to fly to allied conferences at Moscow (1943), Cairo (1943), Teheran (1943) and Yalta (1945). On another occasion, it served as the personal aircraft of King George VI during his tour of North Africa in 1943. On June 10, 1954 it was struck off charge and finally broken up at North Coates, Lincolnshire.
