Dan-Air London BAC One Eleven. Landing (wing view)

[tom5919]

nice landing in the time

[jamietti]

Is that only this particular approach or have the approach patterns been changed since the 1980's and early 90's for being less noisy. I can remember when I was a kid in the 80's and returning from holidays with my parents. Watching the flaps come out more and more and engines throttling up. Just like on this clip. They almost seemed to accelerate at some point or flying level for a long time. Before suddenly easing and touching down. Now a days they just glide down smoothly. As I recollect.

[matthiashaenni]

I loved Danair! I had to go to the airport on every Saturday to see Danair's BAe 146-100 arrival from LGW in Berne.

[Tottione1]

Even today's modern aircraft don't sound half as good as this one from inside the cabin!

[adrenachrome05]

Sounds like he was playing ' catch-up ' on the last few seconds before touch down !

[marshalllucky]

I heve fly on these old airplaine , my friend davis he is the pilote and he fly these old beoing 727 like this one, they heve to scrap these plane now as they are use to much of the petrols, also the dans airways does not exist at this time.

[oneworld5557]

@marshalllucky this is a bac-111 not a 727

[marshalllucky]

@oneworld5557 my friend davis he use to drive these plain and he say these is definatly the beoing 727 ;-)

[knaphilllee]

@marshalllucky you're friend is a twat!

[marshalllucky]

@knaphilllee No , I think you`ll find that`s YOU. and you also stink of POO ;-)

[knaphilllee]

@marshalllucky Your friend is so wrong - the 1-11 is so different from the 727, so maybe your friend "stinks of poo" (how childish is that??)

[blueb0g]

@marshalllucky You're quite possibly the worst troll I've ever come across, please try harder next time.

[marshalllucky]

@blueb0g my aunt, she is very sick ;-(

[mcwolfus]

Keep these videos coming. Great old a/c.

[crayz745]

great sound!

[EVILFISM]

Back in its day it sounded like a mini Concord taking off.

[Coaljet]

This is amazing - thanks for posting. I am living for the day that someone posts a similar set of videos taken from inside one of the last charter passenger DC-8s that were still flying in the 90s. I'm sure someone filmed a flight on one, although if you look on the net, there is not even ONE such film showing a takeoff and landing with a wing view. Plenty of 707 films, but nothing on the DC-8. So I'm still holding out plenty of hope. Cheers!

[TheThunderkiss65]

me recuerda cuando en austral vole con este bac tantas veces me gusto x eso lo subo!!!!

[lugash4]

my 1st flight was in 1971 luton to ibiza court line 1-11 we had to turn back over the channel as there was a slight crack in the pilots windscreen it took 6 hours to repair then we were off again!!!! So 2 take offs and landings in one day for my 1st flight bloody brilliant i was hooked on aircraft then!!!! I have many memorys of 1-11's court line and dan air flights i took...........visited the flight deck on many occasions times have changed so much it's a different world............

[rodjames98]

Love to hear those spey's roaring.

[antimatterXXXIII]

What a strange landing, he seemed to WANT to keep speed to get a good head of steam for the taxi roll. He was still hauling ass halfway down the runway and seemed to use almost no reverse thrust.

I also notice the wing on this plane is something like that of the Lockheed L-1011. I wonder if the latter borrowed some ideas from it? It's definitely a different idea from the Boeing and Douglas wings.

[matt8863]

@antimatterXXXIII

I agree, and no reverse thrust??.... I read somewhere the rear engined jet aircraft needed to maintain airspeed on approach with higher thrust settings....The B-727 experienced a series of early accidents resulting from reducing thrust on approach and finding themselves in sink rates that couldn't be arrested by full power.

[airconguy1]

@antimatterXXXIII I think they were fitted with reverse,maybe not used, due to excessive noise (they ARE noisy! The engines alone are enough), and maybe because the fuel load was light enough to not require it

[HurnAirport]

Thanks for posting.

My dad used to build these babies at BAC Hurn back in the day. An excellent aircraft and what a noise. :)

I was lucky enough to see an old Omani air force BAC 1-11 take-off from Hurn in 2009. Not many left flying now sadly.

[JeffGR4]

@1970sPlaneSpotter Thank you so much for this. Fantastic!! Seems as if we're flying. Extraordinary footage of the beloved "One Eleven." America's Braniff and Mohawk knew they had a winner when they chose the British BAC 1-11 over the DC-9.

[airconguy1]

Nice aircraft!

[jgrab1]

I don't understand why the engines start screaming just before touchdown, after the flaps reach their final setting? I know you have to accelerate there to overcome drag, but that much??? Why not just use less flap?

[airconguy1]

@jgrab1 A lot of planes need at least 50% power with full flaps. With all the drag, the aircraft does tend to slow down a bit. You can't use less flaps UNLESS the plane is landing at higher speeds (instead of full flaps+130knots, you would have 3/4 flaps and 150knots)

[adamsmrt]

I can't describe how I feel when I watch this. Having worked at Manchester airport for almost 2 years from April 2008 (todays modern gateway to the world), this is amazing to see.....the retro aircraft is just the icing on the cake. Thank you for posting this video, the old ones are the best!!

[kiwibelt]

GOD, those flaps come down slow!!!!

[koksy]

I flew on G-BJYM and G-BJMV as DA2830/1 BHX-ALC-BHX in 1985. It seemed much noisier on board than in this video! I seem to remember the announcements from the crew saying "After landing you will notice an increase in engine noise due to the reverse thrust slowing the aircraft down".

[laosandburma]

Woh....the high speed landing....did the BAC have to be landed on that power? Seems dramatic and unnecessary?? Then cut off engine power bounce bounce...."this is a totally different kinda flying...all together!....This is a totally different kinda flying"

[CaptBrooks78]

That was an incredibly fast approach!. Awesome engine sounds. They don't make 'em like that anymore :(. God damn airport residents and their noise complaints.

[REI02021809]

When was that 1-11 built

[alantew]

That's a difficult question really , without knowing the exact registration - as dan Air Operated about 27 different airframes over several differing variants - could be anything from 1965 right up the early seventies - sorry can't be anymore specific

[chrisprimera]

i flew on a Dan Air BAC one eleven from Manchester to Faro whan was bout 8 yo!!

[alantew]

So sad , that BAC 1-11 has now had its

type certificate withdrawn - Basically itis a dead airliner - even though there a few airframes still flying - RIP BAC 1-11 - we loved you so much .

[Spamolot2888]

@alantew

I Fix parts for BAC 1-11 for two customers they are such a pain in the backside!! the manuals are hard to get but when you do they are written in an alien language and even then practically are the parts are none existent except for customer supplied parts...shame really!

[Fliying6]

Amazingggggggg

[luckilj]

Used to work on the old DA 1-11s at BWA .. happy days.. cept for G-OBWE! ufffff!

[Locker10a]

were you cabin crew

[jazzkeyboardman]

Unusual landing sequence - full flaps followed immediately by what sounded like full power - had they misjudged the approach angle? Or is this SOP for One-Elevens?

[ewandougie]

Standard for 1-11's the final stage of flap is designed to allow short field operations, however the final stage is high drag, therefore a large amount of power is required to overcome the drag induced by the flaps

[MrNitrofire]

@jazzkeyboardman i thinks that is what makes smooth landings because you dont want to have a hard one hehe xP

[Tottione1]

I seen all BAC1-11 land using high power on throttles, it's absolutely awsome!!!

[N145PM]

strange no arrival announcement

[FrontSideBus]

Quite a bit of drag off those flaps on full extension!

[cjdrange]

The ROCKET comes into land, wicked little plane love em all. Sadly missed.

[dpaanlka]

Wow 5 stars for sure. That wing has such great detail!

[SuperMole666]

amazing as if it was just filmed british and proud

that must have been the same year they went broke

[freddielaker2]

I was talking about my first flight not this one, chances are it was and yes I used to see PJ in Liverpool often, Its a pity we cant confirm it. I just love simon's vids and told him so. I wonder if he knows which 1-11 it was? Simon - over to you

[1970sPlaneSpotter]

Hi. Sorry I don't know which 1-11 it was, only it was a scheduled shuttle flight between Manchester and Gatwick.

[funflyer69]

Yes, this is the real Sound of Jet Engines. Great Aircraft and perfect Video. I love it.

[johnwood57]

Brilliant,i have not flown on a Bac 1-11 since the begining of the 1970's,it was a rare treat just to watch that video and listen to those Rolls Royce spey engines again, the aeroplanes today are boring too bloody quiet if you ask me,great stuff .

5*****

[harley55100]

@johnwood57 Yep, I second that last part of your comment. Among today's aircraft, the loudest one (in my own view) that's flying these days is the twin-engine MD-82, and even that is nothing compared to the BAC 1-11 noise. BAC 1-11s were at least 3 times noisier than the MD-82s taking off.

[freddielaker2]

1966G-ATPJ manchester-palma British Eagle - my first flight. i love the b111. and there are still 1 or 2 about. Great vid.

[alantew]

Is this really G-ATPJ ex British Eagle called "Stalwart" love it my first ever jet

Birmingham to Palma 1966/67

[musico81986]

Wow...incredible footage!

+5

[aqprider]

Great video! Thanks! love BAC 1-11 !

[Tottione1]

The sound coming from her engines when she was on her final approach was absolutely incredible!!!

[funflyer69]

Great Video, fantastic!!!!!!

[gilwil59]

This video is really good, I went to Italy on a Dan Air Bac 1-11 in 1979, brings back memories.

[Tottione1]

I went to Naples many times on this plane from Manchester in the mid 80's

[gilwil59]

It was Naples that I went to from Manchester on the 3rd July 1979

[fsxdude123]

so many flaps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[eltfell]

The last time I saw a BAC 1-11 was end of October 1997 in Düsseldorf. They seem to have died out :-(

[Spamolot2888]

I still service a BAC -111 for a small company, Luckily the customer has a warehouse full of parts!! The IPC and component manuals are an absolute pain to work with!!!

[virginbluedude]

was the stewardess/hostess/flight attendant seat at the forward door of the aircraft for one person or 2? was there a jumpseat at the rear like on DC-9/727????

[johnfr1966]

The seat at the front was a double, forward facing at the left hand door. There was a single seat at the rear, not on the door like the 727, but a strange fold out thing that stowed behind the back row of seats on the right. If there was a fourth crewmember they sat in an overwing seat row aisle seat.

[virginbluedude]

thanks very much! were you cabin crew? what airline did you work for?

also was this for the smaller BAC-111's or the stretched version? or both?

[1970sPlaneSpotter]

I was a passenger who loves filming anything to do with aviation. I don't remember which aircraft type it was. Thanks for the comment.

[airboy1997]

i flew these for danair up untll 92 and then i flew them for monarch and now i fly for aeroflot on the 777s

[spider23000]

Wow that's quite amazing as, according to your profile, you were born in 1990. So you were two when you stopped flying for Dan Air and switched to Monarch. Incredible what children can do these days.

Also, if you actually flew for Aeroflot, you'd know that they don't have any 777's, they leased two of them between 1998-2005.

Funny how everyone on YouTube confuses playing on a little flight simulator game with being an actual pilot...

[dutchgoing]

@spider23000 Ouch! I recall flying on BAC 1-11 s in the early 1980s. Good fun!

[griffy1988]

@spider23000 - also theres soooo many bullshitters on this site "im an airline pilot with 400 hours" , "i flew with ..." its bollocks all of it

[airboy1997]

i ment to put 767s and my profile dob is not right

[mpaton2006]

no you didn't, you're 19.

[airboy1997]

yes i did mean to put 767 and i am also 49

[Locker10a]

Cool video !! i wish i had gotten to fly on an BAC-111 . I saw an aer lingus737 as 2:30 !!

[REI02021809]

There was even a Fokker F27 aswell

[deand02]

I am very intrested in this video- the unique engine sounds, the great landing

thanks

[jerseyscampi]

I have a flight filmed on board a dan air bac 1-11 from gatwick to jersey in 1992.

It's still on video camera tape so I will try and get in on here

[Rick4545]

Thank you so much for this. Nostalgia..... I used to work on these fabulous aircraft before transferring over to 747's ( long haul) at Heathrow, I wasn't with Dan Air, but it is the same airplane... I loved flying on them, they were unique, if only the noise restrictions hadn't ended the day for this great aircraft. Great engine sound, so familiar and really nice to see the British Airtours 737-200 on the tarmac on landing. Thanks once again for this.

[n425tuj]

Fantastic Video. Love the engine sounds. Also great to see an Airtours MD83 towards the end taxying out. It's wierd seeing Manchester Airport without T2 and the Thomas Cook hangars etc. We defo went back in time with this video. Thank You.

[edwardhitler08]

Dan Air London, man that brings back some memories. I must of flew with them at least 10 times maybe more!. All i remember about the 1-11 is that they were bloody noisey and always smelt of strong aviation fuel!!. Who remembers the rear automatic staircase!. I always sat at the back coz my dad is a smoker so we always got the loud noise from the rear mounted engines. I loved Dan Air classic British airline, gone but not forgotton.

[Iamfukenripped]

brilliant i was lucky enough to fly on one of thee old birds back in 1995 on European airlines we went from gatwick to brindisi italy.

[UA901]

Great video and phantastic engine sound. 5*

[flymajj]

First time seeing and hearing the One Eleven from a passenger's perspective. Loved every second of these clips.

Hope someone posts the same of a Trident one day!

[powerpuffsouthpark]

WOW!!! After ALL these years, a passenger's eye (and ear) perspective video of a BAC 1-11 flight - here on YouTube! My warmest, sincerest gratitude to Simon Lowe for capturing this - and also to 1970sPlaneSpotter for uploading it - and bringing back in me such fond memories of my first airplane flight - and my toddlerhood.

[BYALPHAINDIA]

Absolute Brilliance, Brings back the memories.

[hannahj69]

wow, thankyou for posting this video. I am a big enthusisat of the 1-11 but never had the opportunity of flying on one. this is an amazing video. I would have never otherwise seen what the 1-11 was like in-flight. once again thanks :)

[rrr3hdi]

Thanks for this great reminder. I flew 1-11s for four happy years!

[Caipiroska243]

Granted, I was very young when I flew on 1-11s, but I really imagined them to sound different to how these videos show. Really no different at all to an F28.

[EinkOLED]

I heard that Romania took over the production of the BAC 1-11 after BAC in bucharest IN THE LATE 60's.

This video is such a rare opportunity to see this now obselete jet in action.

The trailing fowler flap arrangement reminds me of the 727/vickers/TU-154. and the more recent fokker 100/70, the flap tracks petrude over the wing rather than below it. This is more of a occurance on aft mounted engines and particularly those of the early era.

[Caipiroska243]

Yes, Romania did produce a handful (under a dozen), but as late as the 1980s. They were called ROMBAC 1-11s. I believe one is still flying in Somalia or Djibouti.

[rodjames98]

thanks for the upload simon. The one eleven was a magic jet.

[atreewithnolife]

huge amount of flaps ay, then truck loads of power !!the pilot would never make a glader pilot, lol! good vid.

[TheSwedishBuB]

pretty darn cool!

[3carson3]

BRILLIANT VIDEO!!

[AndrewHeyworth]

Really good to watch! Brilliant video!

[NavigatorProductions]

Oh wow! what a treat! great video simon. When he put the flaps to full the engine noise is emence!, sounded like he was going to make a go-around :) id love to see the take off

[hyper4lifedude]

thankyou so much for posting this! i love the BAC 111!

[1970sPlaneSpotter]

Thanks hyper! I have the take-off from Gatwick as well.

[hyper4lifedude]

wow that would be brilliant! a real treat!
