How many BAC-111s still flying ?
I know the EASA type certificate was surrendered in 2010 so none supposed to be flying in the EU , any still flying out there in Africa or other corners of the World ?

That makes a total of 74 stored aircraft of which 30 are on the Nigerian register! A further 8 are preserved. Sadly It will be impossible to determine the final fate of many of these 1-11s. The majority of the stored fleet are now derelict with less than 10 aircraft remaining potentially airworthy! There may be a few more aircraft that have not been listed but I have no confirmation that they still exist.
An interesting summary on bac1-11jet.co.uk

If you check out this website it has up to date info:-

It looks like there are only 3 airworthy 1-11s and the one at Boscombe Down is due to retire in July.
As a person who saw the first one fly on his 10th birthday and worked on them for a number of years, it's a shame there won't be one available for the 50th birthday next year at Bournemouth-Hurn.
