Flying the Bac-111

I realize that EAAC (European Air Charter) recently stopped flying scheduled/charter flights using the venerable BAC-111. Yes, it's noisy and inefficient, but it's a shame to see the aircraft go. I have flown as a passenger many times during my life and I loved the sensation of speed. Questions for current (probably a few) and former BAC-111 pilots out there:

1. Best and worst features of flying the aircraft

2. How did it compare to what you CURRENTLY fly?

3. Are any BAC-111s still flying (hush-kitted) in the UK or Europe - where are they based?


Happy holidays!
