Monday 13th August marks the 50th Anniversary of the first flight of the (then) DH.125.:D

The first flight took place at Hatfield on that date in 1962 with A.C (Chris) Capper at the controls accompanied by Flight Test Observer John Rye. The flight lasted 56 minutes.

Love her or hate her, in her various guises the 125 has been around 50 years - a tremendous record and a salute to British aviation in the late 50's and early 60's.:ok:

cheers

After all that time you would think they could come up with a better baggage solution! Good on her though, a half century for the old girl!

Built like a "brick sh*te house" Just ask Arthur Ricketts about OK-1 back on the 8th August 1988.:ok::ok::ok::ok::ok:
