Forgive the intrusion from a lowly PPL.
My cousin flies BAe 146's around Australia for Jet Systems, a freight carrier. The 146 has the advantage in Australian cities of being able to operate outside the usual curfew for city airports.
He has told me that the BAe 146 is 'four oil leaks connected by an electrical fault' which would be funny if it didn't refer to an aircraft.
In their favour, in my opinion at least, they look great.
I wonder if any pilots of perhaps compromised aircraft carry a parachute?
