I loved flying the 146 for WestAir - It was comfortable, quiet and the only problem was it was slower than other transport jets, generating requests from ATC to "go faster". "Unable" ended up with vectors off our course "for faster traffic"...

All down to Tony Benn MP who had the utmost faith in the Hawker Siddeley / BAe Hatfield work force. Without him I wouldn't have worked there from 1970 to 1986 as a very proud 146 aircraft engineer.

Tony Benn saving thousands of jobs, never see the media portraying him that way, too busy vilifying him as a villain

This prototype Aircraft used to fly over my school almost daily in the early 80’s. As an adult I worked on the RJ85/100 . It was like a flying tank. Very strong

Hands down one of the coolest airliners ever built. A British home run...wait, you guys don't watch baseball...It's a British...

Proud to be a part of making these aircraft . Great memories of BAE Hatfield 1986 - 1993.

PSA used to have these. My favorite jet to fly in!

This is like Yes, Minster meets scrapheap challenge

40 minuts by plane back in these days but today it takes 4 hours by plane because you got security checkpoint, hiking to the gate, 40 minuts flight, another time hiking to the badgage clame, today trains are faster than flying on short haul route. So these mini Lockead Galaxy isn't needed anymore.

Sad to say only a few are still flying this 2020.

[@samkassover3935]

Awakening · Kevin Peek is the theme song for those interested

[@clintonlyle7922]

Damn the black smoke pouring out of the back of that 707 at

[@MrBorceivanovski]

Great artistic achievement!

[@emrage]

Amazing stuff shame BAE Woodford where this was partly built has been turned into a shite residential estate

[@manecascris3897]

Cannot find the other episodes...any idea what happened?!...thank you.

[@brucehutchison3946]

Flew one from Paris to Florence, nice plane but a bit cramped.
