=== The Aircraft and Route === The Avro Tudor IV was a British commercial airliner derived from the Lancaster bomber. The Star Tiger was flying the transatlantic route from the Azores to Bermuda β a leg involving approximately 2,000 miles of open ocean with no emergency landing options. The aircraft faced '''unusually strong headwinds''' on the crossing, which may have significantly increased fuel consumption and forced the aircraft to fly lower than planned. At 10:30 PM, the Star Tiger transmitted its last position report and asked Bermuda for a bearing. No further transmissions were received.
