Its funny how an airliner which was so familar, you could practically see a BAC 1-11 anywhere in the UK, has gone. I recall seeing at Liverpool regular Ryanair 1-11s going to and from Dublin. That was the time that they only had one route out of LPL ! I read a book a little while back about the development and eventual drop of the proposed BAC 3-11. It was to be a wide bodied twin rear mounted engined T.Tail to rival the A300. The aircraft looking like it had a lot of prospects, in the politics killed it off.
