                                           640s operated by HAL in the mid 1960s.  The Convait 640 was to the 340/440 series, what
                                           the Convair 600 was to the earlier 240.       i.e. a Convair 440 fitted with Rolls Royce Dart
                                           R.Da 10/1 engines became the 640.      Five of the original nine 240s were so converted, and
                                           a couple more were picked up later on.   This is the same machine as shown in the entry for
                                           the 340 (fleet # 28).   It was sold to Zantop International Airlines in 1973 as a freighter.
