I flew on one of these babies.. i remember that hum of the engine spool on start up.. I was only 7 at the time.. remember seeing all the 747s and dc-10s.. and i was dissapointed about the tiny plane we was going on.... not realising that in years to come i would be considered lucky to have gone on one of these.... lovely planes.

BAC 1-11s, along with the VC10s, could wake up the dead for miles around (figuratively speaking) whenever they take off. They were extremely deafening.
They're the loudest planes I have ever seen taking off, louder than the 727s. But I enjoyed seeing them taking off while they lasted and rattle so many nerves.
But now, about the only modern airplane that I consider to be the loudest, in my view, is the twin-engine MD-82, which is NOTHING. BAC 1-11s were 5 times noisier than the MD-82s.

I remember the ground vibrating and the air popping and crackling when these babies took off!

i can remember been at school and a 1-11 took off from southend airport, it was funny because our teacher was telling us off and as the 1-11 got nearer and louder he was having to shout louder and louder haha :L

Clasico. De chico los veia en aep desde la reja. Vole en eso, en DC8 y en A380 (y en el medio todo) . Como cambio la cosa. Eso si que era musica.

@louthesz9 Aircraft like the BAC 1-11 are the reason why the FAA crated the noise level stage in the first place lol!

At 1.07, it looked like the tree was ablaze with the sun behind it

Todavia siguen volando algunos. En EEUU la Northrop Grumman tiene algunos que usan para ensayos. Hay varios en manos privadas, y en Inglaterra quedan algunos tambien. La escuela de pilotos de prueba en Inglaterra tenia uno sin silenciadores, pero creo que lo retiraron de servicio hace poco.

Hell yes! By an order of magnitude I'd say. The One Elevens were quite louder than an un-huskitted 727 as well. I can't begin to imagine what a HS Trident was like...!
