The pocket rocket! Flew MAN to FRA in July 1993 with BA back in the day as an unaccompanied minor and was allowed to sit in the flight deck for landing in the jump seat behind the CPT ❤
Thank you for posting this. As a kid and upto my 30's living 1-2 miles away, I could hear these staring up from my house. Fabulous sound. I was lucky enough to fly in a Dan Air one.
Dan Air Manchester to Ibiza June 1988 was my very first flight. I'd forgotten how noisy these planes were. It's the one and only time I encountered fold out stairs under the tail and rear facing seats over the wing. It means a great deal to see a snap shot of 1992 - 30 years ago this year of 2022 - as the person I travelled with is no longer here.
Hush kits spoiled the pocket rocket. loved flying in them.

These lovely old birds were LOUD!

Thanks for great video and sounds
I remember as a kid going to Manchester airport on top of the terminal building and the BA 1-11 seemed to be the noisiest plane there. 😳🏴🇬🇧🤠
Had some great times on these lovely aircraft
Great sound spey engines, ear bending
Rolls Royce Spey engine's
Engines at the rear real kick in the pants take off
The Spey engine's also used on Blackburn Buccaneers UK nuclear bombers
Didn't they fit them with hush kits?................. I said "DIDN'T THEY FIT THEM WITH HUSH KITS?"
Technically it’s just a mixer…the full on ejectors to accompany the mixers came later and made by QTA! If you look up N999BW, you’ll see what I mean!
Yes 😆
Is this the old Air Manchester G-SURE?
Hush kits available, but better without
