British Aircraft Corp. BAC-111-537GF (c/n 257)
Cyprus Airways
Zürich-Kloten (ZRH/LSZH)
28 January 1984

After leasing a trio of BAC-111s from British operators in the seventies, Cyprus Airways ordered three new-built BAC-111-500s, which were registered 5B-DAG, 5B-DAH and 5B-DAJ, and were delivered 1977, 1978 and 1980.

5A-DAG was subsequently seen on the regular scheduled service from Larnaca to Zürich, arriving on runway 14 and sporting Cyprus Airways' livery of that time.

All three One-Elevens were sold to Nationwide Airlines in early 1995, with 5B-DAG becoming ZS-NUH. Nationwide operated the aircraft until early 2001, when it was retired at Lanseria, and broken-up there in 2005.

Bournemouth-Hurn, UK - 5 June 1988

TVS Air Show South

By 1988 XX919 was one of the last operational BAC One-Elevens still flying that hadn't been fitted with a hushkit. Being a military aircraft it wasn't subject to quite such strict regulations as civil machines, and in fact was never hushkitted, flying with its original unmodified engines until it was retired in 1997.

D-ALFA is taxiing past Riem’s viewing terrace to runway 07 for take-off. The Vickers Vanguard in the background is Invicta’s G-AXOY, the Herald is EAS’s F-BLOY (remained here from 8 to 12 May 1975). The Britannia B737 on the left is unidentified.

Bavaria Fluggesellschaft was based at Munich-Riem, so the company‘s aircraft were very commonly seen here. All Bavaria aircraft wore 'vanity registrations‘. The One-Elevens were D-AILY, D-AISY, D-ALFA, D-ALLI, D-AMUC, D-ANDY, D-ANNO and D-ANUE.

Note: D-ALFA (2) ist Boeing 777-FBT c/n 41674 / 1144 flying for Lufthansa Cargo from November 2013 (active in 2021).

Lasham, UK - 22 May 1988

VR-CBX had arrived at Lasham a couple of weeks earlier, presumably for maintenance. Although registered in the Cayman Islands it was based in the UAE, and was supposed to have been re-registered A6-RAK at the same time (VR-CBX appears to be on a sticker over the new registration). Apparently there were problems in de/re-registering it, however, and it left the following month still as VR-CBX.

Turning onto the stand at London Gatwick EGKK, May 1985

London Gatwick EGKK, October 1983

London Gatwick EGKK, summer 1980

BCAL ran a helicopter shuttle between London Gatwick (seen here) and Heathrow between 1978 and 1986. High costs and noise objections along the route led to its closure.

London Gatwick EGKK summer 1980

London Gatwick EGKK May 1985. N112WA had a very long life, serving from May 1980 to July 1993 as a DC-10, then being converted to an MD-10 freighter for FedEx as N319FE, serving from 1994 to the end of 2022.

A great place to watch the action with plenty to see. They had a little cafe up there too! May 1985
