Country: United Kingdom · 3 aircraft types

Turboprops

Turbine-powered propeller aircraft for short routes and smaller airports, such as the ATR 42/72 and the Dash 8.

Hawker Siddeley HS 748

Avro 748

Low wing, two whistling Rolls-Royce Dart turboprops and landing gear built for gravel strips: the HS 748 was Britain’s answer to the Fokker F27 – as an airliner, freighter and military transport. Today it is a rare catch.

Business jets

Business aircraft from the Cessna Citation to the Gulfstream – out in force at many airports during trade fairs and major events.

Hawker Siddeley HS 125

DH.125 Jet Dragon

From the DH.125 Jet Dragon built in Hatfield to the Hawker 900XP from Wichita: the 125 family is one of the longest-lived business jets ever. Here is how to sort out the versions and names.

Historic aircraft

Retired types and vintage aircraft that are only seen on special flights, at air days or in museums.

Hawker Siddeley Trident

HS.121 Trident

Three Spey engines at the rear, a T-tail and an off-center nose gear: the Trident was Britain’s counterpart to the Boeing 727 – and the first airliner to land automatically in scheduled service.
