I’ve just been made aware of one last chance to fly on a BAC 1-11 before the
remaining worldwide fleet is withdrawn from service in the very near future.
Sadly it is in the USA and is rather expensive but it’s an amazing opportunity
to fly on an immaculate executive aircraft.
I enclose the link for more information:-

This “really” will be the last ever opportunity!

Oh the nostalgia, this is c/n 120 and I recall seeing this aircraft in the flight shed at Hurn in July 1967 as N270E with lovely metallic green belly & wings and a dark green cheatline, prior to delivery to Engelhard Industries.
I see the aircraft is up for sale and open to offers…how about starting a “One-Eleven to the Sky” fund??

Nice idea with or without the Hush-Kit but, $880…ouch!! Now if it was £100 and at Manston, I’d be up for it!!:D

…reckon they’ll slip off the “Hush-Kit” for this last flight..??
That would be good. A non hushkitted 1,11 with water injection made a sound like no other on the takeoff roll.:)
