How many BAC-111s still flying ?
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 Thanks HS-125 |
Sometimes you got to love the 'mole patrol' with their anoraks and telephoto lenses
A useful source of info NEWS |
Looks like around 6 to 10 aircraft still flying
|
If you check out this website it has up to date info:-
HOME OF THE BAC 1-11 ON THE WEB 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. |
Spey
I heard a rumor that Rolls Royce will surrender the type certificate on the Spey in the next few years and it will be game over for the F28 as well
|
3 airworthy in the UK or worldwide ?
|
3 worldwide!
Great aircraft that due to UK politics could have done a lot lot more in future models which never happened. |
Northrop Grumman also own the 111 simulator that European look after at Bournemouth.
|

Any working 1-11 sim out there that amateurs can rent affordably?I would love to compare it with the Microsoft Flight sim add onThanks for any links.
