Hawker baggage pannier question

[TailwheelFiend]

Excluding the Hawker 750, has anyone here flown or seen a HS125 with a baggage pannier ?

I believe this mod this was limited to the 800A's and 800B's.

Does anyone know how many of these might exist, or if they all had the 18000 Lb zfw mod ?

Does anyone have a copy of a (pannier equipped) 800a/b center of gravity envelope they could offer ?

Thank you.

In all the documentation I have of the 800XP/850XP/900XP I did not find anything about a baggage pannier? Or a possible modufacation. I did not fly any earlier versions.

It certainally existed
I have a vague memory of seeing only one UK Hawker with the Baggage Pannier I think it was owned by the RMC Group (Ready Mix Concrete) but I can't for the life of me remember which aircraft either 800 G-XRMC 258180 or their 700 G-PRMC 257031. I think it was eventually, at great expense, converted back to a Ventral Tank. If nobody else comes up with anything I could probably confirm on Monday. It was never a success then and I doubt it will be on the 750 which I have looked at.

Memory like a steel trap - nothing in or out!

Call Wally Epton the last CP of RMC. He's the GAPAN Grand Master:ok:

Had a quick look this morning and there seem to be 6 still flying with the pannier. 258063,258072, 258180,258210, NA0431, NA0410. Serial No 258180 is the old RMC one.

258063 is up for sale and pictures can e found on the www showing the pannier.

They were so rare I don't have any details of CofG, Flight Manuals etc squirrelled away.
