Bob, you & the guys at PAD are absolute stars! With the AFG/HJG series seemingly in limbo I'd despaired of ever seeing the 100 series, but the prospect of one from you guys is a dream come true!

Can't wait to see the 100 series Bob, she looks great in BAe house colours
Glad to see someone doing a fresh 146 model, is the 146 not the best selling British jet airliner?

I should have known you'd the exact number Garry
Is that much more than the 1-11?

Yep.....I think the One-Eleven was 244...off hand.

The 146 is a bit of a cheat really as only 221 BAe 146's were built.. the remainder (166) being Avro RJ's so.. the One-Eleven wins in my book

Still.. nothing beats the Viscount

Right.. move the goal posts if you will
Forgive me but I've never considered either the Dove or Islander as 'Airliners'

1-11 was by far the better airframe.
If the re-engining had gone ahead it would have carried a heavier payload further and 60 knots faster whilst burning less fuel. BAe put every obstacle in its way coz it would have blown holes in 146 sales.
