........and I did the flying!! A lot of the parachuting shots with the SAS somehow bypassed the "Eagle", and turned up in "Dogs of War", or somesuch. A real tonic indeed to see Sir Sefton Brancker (BEA) looking so pristine in those later web pictures, I'd no idea where she ended up....there was a rumour that she had been turbined by Basler! In Intra, she always hinted at her well-maintained past in BEA, and was the only one of our fleet not fitted with electric fuel booster pumps, the starting sequence involving a really good work out with the wobble pump! She was a lot of peoples' favourite aeroplane, including me, and was Intra's first acquisition.
Those last pictures were from 2005, anyone know her present whereabouts?
Looking at the web pix via srobarts above, that's also me pictured in 'NB as Clyden EI-BDU .....it must be, because they only had one crew at that time,(me + F/O), and when we had our days off, it didn't fly!
