Although the cruise TAS was only 360kts, this made little practical difference on domestic services.
There are a couple of turboprops in service today which continue to prove the case for turboprops pioneered by the Mudguard: The Bombardier Q400 (nee, deHavilland Dash 8) and the Piaggio P-180, which cruises at 402 KTAS, with Mmo .70, both continue to set block times on short hauls at least as good as comparable jets, with much lower costs.

I've now created a Vanguard group on Flickr, to which I've uploaded most of the photos of Vanguards that I have. Other people can upload too-please feel free to do so. Here's the link:
