I had the pleasure of a flight out of LCY with AIR UK aboard a BAE146. They are Very noisy, as the engines are directly alongside the passenger cabin with an overhead wing. Also, they are a relatively small aircraft with four powerful engines. Gives incredible acceleration and lift.
We took off facing east and the pilot stood the aircraft almost on its tail. It was a far faster ascent than normal and quite exhilarating.
Great aircraft for a short flight, otherwise sit ahead of the engines!

From what I can recall, that aircraft was also fitted with an all business class configuration.
