I loved the BAC1-11 and flew on them all over Europe and the UK with BA and good ole Dan Air. They were a superb m/c and I agree with an earlier post that they were machined out of a block of steel. OK, it was a bit tight if it was qa full Monday morning business flight buty you knew where you were. Plus they could get into any UK airport where there were cross winds (that the Boeing 737/757 were unable to handle).
Beautilful aircraft handled by great crews!
