HS125

For the young one who don't know.

The 2 x HS125's were only used for Pilot training. Jet Conversion before sim's became the norm and the odd pleasure flight for the then Directors but predominately for Pilot training and were painted in the original penny kangaroo red colours - TILL one dark and stormy day at Avalon when EBB, I think it was EBB, one of the classic jumbo, was doing training at Avalon touch and goes, had a close encounter of the ramp when taxiing and was close to taxiing over the top of one. That's when they were painted ORANGE - Not pretty but very visible.
