The 146, also called the Avro RJ in some variations, was developed by British Aerospace in the late 1970s. It came into service in 1983 and 387 of them were sold, making it the most successful British commercial aircraft. However, production was stopped in 2002 because BAE Systems was losing money on the project. Several hundred aircraft are still in service
We only sold 387, how can several hundred aircraft still be in service, what a load of bollokcs?
