Asda bought C421 G-EAGL from Systime and operated it for a wee while. Then along came B200 G-BOMM, which was eventually sold.

I'm not sure about Westland Helicopters having a HS125 (earlier post), particularly as they only have a grass runway at Yeovil, but they certainly had an Agusta 109, G-WEST, while I was there which I was lucky enough to get a ride in on a couple of occasions. I think it has now been disposed of.

Motorola used to have something, can't remember what, based at Farnborough/Blackbushe and of course there was Air Hanson itself at Blackbushe which was Hanson Concrete.

Who owned/operated the Gulfstream I and then G2/3 based at LHR in the 70's/80's ? Often parked up near Hunting's hangar or thereabouts ?

I headd that United Biscuits were supposed to be upgrading their King Air 200 to a Starship - assume that never happened?

My dad used to be a Rank Xerox marketing manager (based at HQ in Euston Rd)
As he went up the pecking order, he eventually got the right to use their rather smartly painted Luton based HS125-700B G-BGTD for trips to Europe...a pleasant upgrade for him from the regular Air UK Sheds and F27's he used to ride out of our local airport Stansted |
LEC refrigeration had a small fleet at their own airfield next to their factory in Bognor Regis,and which I think was comprised of a C172,an Islander and an Aztec,I think David Purley,son of the founder,kept his Pitts there too,before he was killed in it.

Dennis Vanguard at Coventry. I can't clearly remember what they owned over the years. HS125, various Gulfstreams, a 737 or BBJ ? Might have been a Lockheed Jetstar at one time. I think they were all registered in Bermuda.

An old friend of mine flew a Citation II and then HS125-800 for Humber Kitchens (part of MFI). They were looking to go trans Atlantic with a Gulfstream IV or Falcon 50 and Martin was getting quite excited, then a new bean counter arrived and they decided to charted an aircraft when needed and Martin lost his job.

In the late 70s/early 80s, GKN ran an HS125 based at LHR - a friend of mine flew for them
