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.

Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) BAC1-11 402AP XX919 is seen here in the evening sunshine at an RAF Abingdon open day in Sep 1979. This was the original RAE livery that the aircraft wore until the early 1980s. We just dropped in to the tail-end of this airshow and I took a few shots as the sun went down (RAE DC-3 at sunset next :)
