EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "BAC One-Eleven-402AP XX919 at RAF Leuchars in 1981" This evocative photograph captures the BAC One-Eleven-402AP XX919 (msn 91) in its prime, as it gracefully sits on the tarmac of RAF Leuchars in September 1981. The Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) aircraft, with its distinctive wing design and sleek, aerodynamic shape, exudes an aura of advanced aeronautical engineering. The BAC One-Eleven-402AP, a versatile and innovative jet airliner, was a significant addition to the RAE's fleet. XX919 was one of the first production models, and its acquisition marked a new era in aviation research and development. The aircraft's advanced features, including its high bypass turbofan engines and advanced avionics, made it an invaluable asset for the RAE's flight testing and evaluation programs. In April 1997, after years of dedicated service, XX919 was transferred from RAF Leuchars to Boscombe Down. However, its tenure at Boscombe Down was short-lived. The aircraft was eventually withdrawn from use and broken up, with the preservation of its nose as a testament to its storied history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the BAC One-Eleven-402AP XX919 in its element at RAF Leuchars, as it continued to contribute to the advancement of aviation technology. The image serves as a reminder of the pivotal role that research and development play in the transportation sector, and the enduring allure of aviation history. Mary Evans Picture Library is proud to offer this image, which not only showcases the beauty and sophistication of the BAC One-Eleven-402AP XX919 but also provides a window into the rich history of aviation research and development.
