As the other thread is developing into a discussion, I thought I’d post some photos taken at Woodford in the last 20-odd years, many taken from our flight test office window. In no particular order.
I make no apologies for including this one. RJX-85 G-ORJX and RJX-100 G-6-391. Taken from RJX-100 G-IRJX
RJX-85 G-ORJX parked on the flight sheds apron in late 2001.
Both RJX-85 and RJX-100 on the sloping flight sheds apron.
