Great to see a classic jet from the inside. Where was the flight going to?

nice one mate thanks for the upload. the 1-11 was a true gem to me do you have any other 1-11 vids from the inside i wonder ?

[1970sPlaneSpotter]

No, sorry.

I just adore the sound of those RR SPeys on full take off power - excellent video mate!

Great aircraft the BAC 1-11 it was built like a brick s**t house. Worked on them with European Air Charter. Loved those spey engines when they started up & being able to see through the cracks around the door whilst climbing out until the seals pressurised. Halcyon days... it was real flying!!

I remember '92.

The future looked a lot better back then. :)

That really is lovely. Thank you so much for posting!

I flew London/Newcastle with DA & BA regularly during the early 1980s.

BA were using new 737-200s along with older Tridents into Heathrow.

DA 'mainly' flew BAC 1-11s into Gatwick.. It was not uncommon to find an HS748 allocated on the route, but nobody minded. The 90min. or so turboprop flight was always pleasant and Dan Air cabin staff were great. Cruising altitude in the 748 was a mere 14,000 ft.

I just LOVE classic planes, I used to live very close to Amsterdam airport Schiphol, and remember the !-11, 707, DC-8 ,tridents and Vickers Viscounts taking off over my house........those were the days!

Thanks for the GREAT video!

@knaphilllee I love the noice from those spey's on start up take of as well as landing.

@hargohargo2 Reason they reduce power on the engines shortly after take-off is to restrict the spped of the aircraft (usually to around 250knt under 8000ft) and also if they were kept at full power for much longer they would simply explode!

Simon Lowe, You're the best!!!!

@greengoblin200 The 111 did not have great short field takeoff performance at high gross weight. Additionally no leading edge slats for extra lift and lower takeoff speeds hence the long takeoff roll. In this video perhaps it was a high temperature and I bet also calm wind. These also go against your takeoff performance.

Used to fly them in the 60s on Braniff in the U.S.

why do planes always switch the engines down after about a minute for? it always scares me as i think they are turning off and the plane is still going up
