Classic British Flight Sim

Thanks for the HU, Aharon.
Can't help with Bournemouth, sorry.

Hi Aharon,

Not sure about the specific building for the 1-11, but Tridents were not made by BAC, so weren't built at Bournemouth (Hurn). Tridents were built by DeHavilland (latter Hawker Siddeley) at the factory in Hatfield. the Tridents name (HS121) was originally DH121, DH standing for DeHavilland and design number 121. When the deHavilland business was amalgimated into Hawker Siddeley, The design book stayed, but the letter prefix changed to HS for Hawker Siddeley. Much later on, when the BAe 146 was developed, the name 146 came from, you guessed it, the old DeHavilland, now Hawker Siddeley, now BAe Hatfield design book, and this was design 146.

TSR2,

Thanks for correcting me on birthplace of all Tridents. My bad

Wondering if there is FSX scenery for Hatfield the birthplace airport of all Tridents.

Hoping somebody here would tell me which building in Bournemouth airport where BAC 1-11s were born.

Regards,

Aharon

Google Earth Hurn,

Go to start of runway 08

To the left of the runway on the industrial site

The 3 long hangars close together

They also used hangars (since demolished) where Flight Refueling/Cobham now live.

Scorpuis,

Would you know where factory fresh BAC 1-11s would park waiting for delivery pickup after coming out of the factory at Bournemouth airport, please?

Aharon

They were parked on the concrete pan in front of Cobham's hangers. if you look at the image i referred to earlier it is where the 4 blue Dassault Falcons are parked.
