One of few things us Brits 🇬🇧 got right was designing this aircraft. God I miss flying these. They were real cockpits and real responses to real input. Fantastic safety record. I don’t think there’s any left flying at all in the UK now, but I have fond memories for sure.
I agree. I don't know if it's some sort of inbuilt British bias but I just love the look and sound of the 1-11. Shame I was born too late to ever fly onboard. The closest I've ever been to one is the static display at Brooklands. Lovely aircraft all round.
Tell me about it. These things used to come screaming over my house in Lagos, Nigeria back in the 80’s as they climbed out of Murtala Mohammed Airport in Ikeja, and made a Bee line for Enugu. They were SO LOUD, you were convinced it was probably diving into your house - especially if you were fast asleep and were woken up by that screaming banshee!. You could still hear the ear splitting thunder from it’s engines long after it had disappeared above the clouds and was no longer visible. Indeed, you could hear it taking off from the airport which was 12 miles away! What perplexes me is how relatively quiet it is from that position on board the BAC-1-11, right by those engines! 😳
Always knew when a BAC111 was departing Brisbane Airport back in late 1960's early 1970's - had to go out and watch - loved them - same with the VC10 😍
In 1971, as a 21-year-old, I went on a plane with 2 jet engines for the first time, that was from Schiphol (A'dam) to London ... with a BAC111, I will never forget that plane, but especially those 2 engines. They've become a bit too quiet for me in recent years. These BAC111 engines look a bit like my Zanussi washing machine when it spins at 1400 rpm.😉 ua-cam.com/video/n-CNrtQpXWs/v-deo.html
Beautiful video and sounds! The BAC-111 holds a special place in my heart, as it was the very first airplane I flew on in my life, in 1970. LANICA AN-BBI, then many times on TACA YS-17-C and YS-18-C
They're also the noisiest, loudest aircraft I've ever encountered up close. The sound of those RR Spey engines, in full takeoff power, could wake up the dead for miles around.
I believe a variant of these engines were used in the MD Phantom over here in the uk but fitted with afterburner. Can you imagine if these planes had afterburner?
As a Brit at school, these and the Trident offered an entire sound that differed constantly. Loud as anything. These have the mufflers. School has to go silent.
I flew on a Dan Air 1-11 on 17th June 1988 from Manchester to Ibiza and this brings back very warm memories. Primarily because the person I travelled with is no longer with us. It was our first ever flight and foreign holiday.
I swear, especially from 2:12 to 4:33, that sound gets me high and it’s absolutely beautiful and soothing to the ears 😍😍😍 That Spey whine is absolutely beautiful and heavenly 😍😍😍
I flew on numerous Braniff 111’s between Lubbock and Dallas while a student at Texas Tech. I loved them and the multi-colored fleet Braniff had made them even more fun!
Oh man, so Speys sounded THAT sweet??? I'm amazed, I'm in love with the RB211-524s startup sound since I'm 10yo, now I hear this. Amazed small engines such as Speys could sound that good. Now I have to go dig Conway startup sounds.
It was unique due to its starter. Unlike the majority of jet engines which have an air turbine starter motor the 1-11 had a Constant Speed Drive/Starter (CSDS) Unique in operation and sound!
Fantastic sound reminds me when I used to stand under the engines on the de tuners at LHR after engine changes (BA in the 70/80's) the sound of the CSDS winding up the engine, then the over speed whistle/wine as it disengaged still makes my hairs stand on end. All that without proper ear muffs! ....... Pardon what was that? Nothing more exciting to be standing under a RR Spey (Trident & 1-11) at full take off power. Just wish I had had a video then .....Thanks for posting Jez
Great sound! Brings back memories of flying on the early DC9's years ago when I usually would try to get seated on the row just in front of the engines as shown here...used to love it when the engines would go out of phase and you'd hear the oscillating beating sound they made until they slowly sync'd back up again...but this is the best sound on startup of any rear engine aircraft I have ever heard from inside! The only other airliner with such a unique sound on startup I guess would be the L1011 Tristar with the Rolls RB211's and much different in sound than this but both being very unique. Seems like I remember the old DC8's engines having a howling sound on startup when I used to see them at the old ATL terminal back in the 60's and 70's but I never experienced what one sounded like from inside since the only DC8 I had the chance to fly on was a Delta and it had the newer CFM56 engines at the time instead of the old turbo jets..I never had the chance to fly on the BAC1-11 nor the Tridents being that I'm in the USA but I was always fascinated by these and other euro jets of that era! thanks for posting...
@@nicelemans I'm from Canada and live there now, but I lived and worked in the Cayman Islands in two different occasions. One not too long ago from 2004-2018, but in the 1970's and 1980's I was a frequent visitor. In the old days, the airline relied on Bac 1-11's as the workhorse. Now it's been 737's older to newer generations for pretty much the last decades after the 727 era. There's also some Twin Otters and Saabs right now for the Sister Islands, love the Twin Otter especially!
Mine was out of Toledo via Pittsburgh. USAIR had a Saturday flight sale for over 2 years in the 80s. Fly on a Saturday and come back on Tuesday and it was $49 round trip system wide. Visited a lot of different cities back then just because I could. I loved these BAC 1-11s then and I still do. My first plane rides ever.
This is incredible... Thank You for sharing. Reminds me of USAir's BAC-111 200 series airplanes that also had hydraulic starters. You could hear them just about anywhere at an airport despite all the noise around them. The USAir BAC-111s with hydraulic starters were Mohawk airplanes. Air start versions were Braniff. Hydraulic starters are way more entertaining. Cannot thank you enough for this experience.
Very cool.ive sat at the back on these years ago.Gatwick flight I think on Dan Air or British Island Airways in the uk,both sadly long gone and they're not quiet trust me but the good old days
My family flew from Luton airport, to Karachi, to Kuala Lumpur, to Melbourne and on to Sydney when we migrated to Australia in 1970, didn't realise what a "kick arse" (as my grandchildren would say) plane it was.
This was a special charter, operated by Classic Jet Tours. I got to fly on this trip, it was amazing. They (Classic Jet Tours) also operated a charter flight with an ATI Combi DC-8 the following year from SMF to LGB and back. I was on it, too!
I flew G-AVMO / P in the mid 80's to Jersey from Manchester on the 1-11.....Unbelievable noise from them engines, they could kick ass, and smoke too!!!!
Simon Griffiths G-AVMO Holds a special place in my heart. I used to live near RAF Cosford where she was preserved. I visited her from toddler age all the way up to watching her being dismantled for transfer to East Fortune. Will always be my favourite aircraft. Jealous you had the opportunity to fly on her!
Flew on many BAC 1-11's with Allegheny Airlines out of Detroit in the 70's. It was basically a "Pocket-Rocket" type of aircraft. The wing design and lack of leading edge devices meant the aircraft loved the runway. Sometimes on hot days....you had to plead with the thing to get it off the runway.
Probably the best aircraft I have been a passenger on. Had a lovely trip to Italy on one once. Everyone was so happy and talking to each other. Unlike the anonymous miserable cigar tubes of today.
Last one flown was on Braniff II. They inherited the 1-11s from Florida Express and were to upgrade to Fokker 100s. Alas, BN 2 was all hat and no cattle!
Ahh that SPEY Engine sound. It was my alarm clock In the old days as a 6:30AM flight BAC-1-11 always flew overhead our house. At the tarmac you could not afford to not close your ears when it was running up. It was way too loud.
PLEASE tell me that high pitch noise wasn’t so loud in person.... I love the engine noise! But!? Damn that would’ve gotten under my skin SO FAST.... hahahah
I flew on many 1-11's in the 60's ,70's and 80's the last one bieng in 1988, catania to LGW ,over those years i flew in 200 series, 400 and 500 series, Gatwick ,Manchester, Venice Palma, as they where very plentiful then, i have been flying since 1959, so my journeys comprised on vanguards, viscounts, Britannias, etc and nowadays, 787's, 777's probably most types but, never the caravelle and VC 10 for i was meant to fly on a VC 10 but at the last moment was switched to a 707, like wise i was switched from a caravelle to a Britannia, thst is how i missed out on those two types, i still regret that, but as i was told at the time ,Britannias may be on their way out soon and indeed they where, i have actually lost count of the many times i have flown on the 1-11 it was standard then and now they are museum pieces, as well as Duxford there is also a 1-11 preserved at Brookwood, thankyou for a really great video!!
I loved doing start ups on Exec 1-11s at LHR...got goose pimples everytime! Thanks for posting an excellent video. I once flew LHR-SNN-BGR-JFK on HZ-BL1 and filmed the whole lot...my stupid idiot ex g/f slung the video out!! could have committed murder for that!
Idk about even on the inside, that beautiful Spey whine is soothing to the ears and not that stupid ass shitty buzzsaw which sounds like absolute shit, but I’m sure from the inside especially from this seat, it would be no louder then most other Jets especially with a T tail. But as other said, the Speys on the outside are FUCKING LOUD!!!!!! Even with Stage III hush kits.
@Airforceproud95 Hey mate, this was an easy one. It was an enthusiast charter which is usually my last option after failing to ride a scheduled service. Nevertheless it was a great flight with VIP service ;)
I flew Mohawk Airlines several times and remember at least on one occasion that there were face-to-face seats in the center of the BAC-111. And yes, the best sounding engines!
They seem to be babying those engines.... I have audio recordings made on Mohawk and American BAC One Elevens and the MO and AA pilots went right to full power in like 3 seconds... Its still a neat sound tho.... I wish i would have been able to fly on this aircraft when they were offering them. The price was just a bit too steep!!
I bet if someone stuck two General Electric CF-34's on it (the engines that power the Embraer 170) and some winglets, they'd find themselves with a nice quiet jet. Minus the awesome start sound, you'd have yourself a nice british classic :D
I don't think so. There was some rumors about new engines and serious upgrades. România produced under license a few 1-11 . Maybe they are in service in other countries wich they are not concerned about noise and modern regulations.
The hushkits fitted to the engine exhausts slightly reduce the thrust. With the awful power to weight ratio of the BAC 1-11 in the first place, this makes the takeoff roll pretty long for a plane of this size.

@@MavAuto-Pete that would be very loud. lol
Okay that is hands down my favorite engine startup sound.
When I first heard it I thought it sounded like a car

Agree with Your post and the start up sound from a Tupolev 154 with Kuzenov NK8s is a joy to behold.

@Chefsalat76 That is very cool. Does that mean you were the only one on the plane?
the RR SPEY SOUND
Quietest plane ever!

Yes, I could hardly hear the aircraft take off due to all the car alarms sounding.
Not during takeoff though...they get even louder. 😬 but the beginning though...on point.
Idk about even on the inside, that beautiful Spey whine is soothing to the ears and not that stupid ass shitty buzzsaw which sounds like absolute shit, but I’m sure from the inside especially from this seat, it would be no louder then most other Jets especially with a T tail. But as other said, the Speys on the outside are FUCKING LOUD!!!!!! Even with Stage III hush kits.

RR Spey. Nice. Also powered the RAFs (F4) Phantoms.
@Airforceproud95 Hey mate, this was an easy one. It was an enthusiast charter which is usually my last option after failing to ride a scheduled service. Nevertheless it was a great flight with VIP service ;)
I fear no, latest I heard was it is in storage after being for sale for quite some time.
It's time too scrap the Boeing Max planes. Bring back the BAC 111👍
The sound😍😍
I remember American Airlines and Mohawk Airlines flying these into Albany(NY) County Airport in the 1960s.
I flew Mohawk Airlines several times and remember at least on one occasion that there were face-to-face seats in the center of the BAC-111. And yes, the best sounding engines!
Lovely. Thanks for sharing.
They seem to be babying those engines.... I have audio recordings made on Mohawk and American BAC One Elevens and the MO and AA pilots went right to full power in like 3 seconds... Its still a neat sound tho.... I wish i would have been able to fly on this aircraft when they were offering them. The price was just a bit too steep!!
Sound like a Racing car 🤩👍
Nice !! Probably used the same amount of runway as a fully laden A380
I bet if someone stuck two General Electric CF-34's on it (the engines that power the Embraer 170) and some winglets, they'd find themselves with a nice quiet jet. Minus the awesome start sound, you'd have yourself a nice british classic :D
Modern day airliners just don’t have the character these old schoolers had.
Amazing video :D
Is there still a BAC-111 in active service?
I don't think so.
There was some rumors about new engines and serious upgrades.
România produced under license a few 1-11 .
Maybe they are in service in other countries wich they are not concerned about noise and modern regulations.
6,700-foot takeoff roll. Wow 😅
@Chefsalat76 haha ok that is still cool.
What a bloody shame, she's a lovely plane. I would of bought her myself if I could of aforded her!
Sweet RR Speys
Reminds me of flying on LACSA to Costa Rica in the 70s
Holy shit I never knew Spey powered passenger planes existed
@Airforceproud95
No, about 25 people I'd say. Unfortunately I am not wealthy enough to afford it by myself yet ;)
Love the Mooney at 1:05..I think
I am correct in thinking this is BAC as in (British Aircraft Corporation) right, now BAE Systems thought.
Why do they put the engines so close to the ground they should be level to the windows like the 717
Awesome
Do they still fly in 2018? Because I think they are probably completely gone by now
No, unfortunately not. I believe this airframe stopped flying soon after this flight.
Outstanding,I love Bac111s.
love the sound of all low-bypass turbofans screaming at full power
Is this one still in service?
FABULOUS SUPERB VIDEO! Brings back memories of one of my first plane rides on a TACA BAC 111 back in 1976! Why did it take so long to rotate?????
The hushkits fitted to the engine exhausts slightly reduce the thrust. With the awful power to weight ratio of the BAC 1-11 in the first place, this makes the takeoff roll pretty long for a plane of this size.
throttled down takeoff.
In Toledo, we had short runways back then and they really cranked them up on takeoff.
Do you have a full length video without the cuts?
Do you know what regeneration this plane has?
This 111 sounds different than the 111 in simon lowes video, why is that?
