Rolls royce speys, what a pair of engines. I'm 29 year old and this sound takes me back to the early to mid 90's when i was only 10 or 11. They used to do the newcastle to gatwick flights back then. You never hear commercial jets that sound like that now. a noise that will be missed. I think this was the reason they were taken out of service when the new noise regulations came in. They tried to put hushkits on them to make them quieter but didn't succeed for very long.
This must surely be a British Airways flight operated by Maersk Air Uk Bac1-11. I was a Maersk (UK) Air purser on board these aircraft, having formerley been with Birmingham Executive Airways on Jetstreams, Gulfstream G159s,and F 50s.Bugger long haul- the 1-11 was fun!
what a classic,i use to fly on the 1-11 between manchester and belfast aldergrove back in the 80's and early 90's!!noisest aircraft ive ever heard!!!!!!!!!!!then the service by B.A changed their aircraft to A.T.P'S, JETSREAM 41'S, BAE 146'S etc!!!nowadays the manchester to belfast international and city airport service is operated by "greener"(boring)lol fleets by bmi baby and flybe!!!!yawn yawn!!!bring back a 1-11 service for those of us that want to fly on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Father in law Captain Tony Lazenby was probably responsible for a lot of the racket - being British Airways 1-11 Captain out of BHX until he retired about 20 years ago - now living safely in Southern California.
thats the yeear i flew on one of those babys on european air charter i feel so lucky im only 20 n i got to fly on one of these i still hear that mopan of those speys when it was startin up and shuttin down music to ma hears :).
