The Airspeed A. S. 57 Ambassador was a high-wing cantilever monoplane with two Bristol

The Airspeed A.S.57 Ambassador was a high-wing cantilever monoplane with two Bristol Centaurus engines with seating for up to 55 passengers.
First flown by George Errington at Christchurch, Hampshire on 10 July 1947 it suffered a number of problems during development, which resulted in only 21 being built and eventually entering service in 1951 with B.E.A.
Disposed of in 1957 they continued in service with other operators, in particular Dan-Air, until the late 1960s.
