Perhaps we're getting numbers mixed here - the HS125 (Hawker Siddley, later merged into BAe) was a twin biz jet, very popular in the states in the early 1980s except for the engines, RR Viper 520/620 series donks were thirsty.
Cheers, y'all.
"DH125"??? Thought they only had 2 engines.

Similarly the Trident started as the DH121 and became the HS121.

Bloke round here used to fly grippers said he always made a point of using the boost engine (only good to FL100)...never made a lot of difference but it made hime feel better...also they could and often were landed with no2 already in reverse....
