BAC One-Eleven in the UK and Ireland (Great Airlines Series)

By Brian Worthington and Richard Vandervord

Book Overview

Attention all aviation enthusiasts and lovers: buckle up and get ready to embark on an exhilarating flight through time with the second edition of volume one of the Great Airlines series. We have added more images, an easier-to-read font, data tables, and more colour to the book. It still contains the rich history of the iconic One-Eleven, tracing its remarkable journeys in the skies of the United Kingdom and Ireland from its maiden flight on 20 August 1963 to its unforgettable farewell flight on 31 March 2012. The book details each airline private company and research organisation that used the BAC One-Eleven in the United Kingdom and Ireland. There are multiple pages with numerous images for well-known airlines of the past such as British European Airways (BEA) and British United Airways (BUA). We also detail short-lived airlines such as London European Airways and Mediterranean Express and companies such as Air Ecosse and Orientair, who each had one BAC One-Eleven painted in their livery, but they never flew. Did you know that Ryanair used to fly BAC One-Elevens? They are listed in this book. Court Line Aviation must be one of the well-remembered companies that flew the BAC One-Eleven in the United Kingdom, and we pay tribute to the airline in our special section. We chose the best, highest-quality images to portray the beautiful colour schemes that lasted only four years in the early 1970s. They are captured in the special section, which presents many images and gives insight into the names and different colour schemes. The airline may be gone but the history remains alive in the pages of this book. If you have a personal connection to the aviation industry or a deep interest in the BAC One-Eleven, this book is a must-read for you. We invite you to immerse yourself in the pages, data tables, and vibrant images. If you've ever visited European airports at the end of the last century, you'll likely remember the sight of these beautiful jets in action.
