eek! i trust you are all correct, given the N registration, but that series of aircraft did begin life as the HS 125 before becoming the BAE 125 (Dominie in RAF service) before being sold to the US manafacturer. Cheesy

I was going to mention that it was originally the DH 125.

That's where I have the advantage. Wink

I worked on the 125 in all its various guises & the company I worked for still supports it today. Unfortunately it was the last in a famous line. Ironically it turned out to be one of the most successful civil aircraft that DH ever produced.

hmm yeap that is an advantage.

the closest i;ve ever been to one, is when i was flying an ATC Bulldog near BAE Warton. I was flying south back towards RAF Woodvale as the 125 flew in on my right hand side a few hundred feet above us. Cheesy
