After which the Devon was replaced by the 125. As in 'Inter City 125'.....
Whilst the RN managed to retain their 'Heron' flight by buying some new Jetstream 'trainers' and then finding a reduced training requirement.
At least until a certain CAS was allegedly most dis-chuffed about being delivered on a visit in an aircraft with 'Royal Navy' plastered along the side.
Some 207 Jetstream 31s would have been nice.....
