Who's tempted?
Reckon a couple of in suits might look like convincing prospective purchasers?

Mmm nice. I bet the UK authorities would'nt let us use em over here! They are the real early classic 1-11's too! Wonder how much more life they have got in them? :think:

They have only been used as corporate jets so they may still have some life in them.

They obviovusly have some life in them still. I'm sure the tech heads will be able to throw some light on airframe life after so many hours and landings etc..

One has 15,000 hours, the other 21,000. That really isnt that much. I dont know what the fatigure life of a 1-11 is, but I imagine its pretty good. Tridents were retired with typically only 22,000 hours on the clock but Emerald's budgies were up in the 70,000 hour league, as are Monarch's oldest 757s.
Just checked G-AVMN (an ex-BA 1-11-510ED) and that was reitred with around 44,000 hrs on it!
