EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the British Aircraft Corporation One-Eleven 416EK G-AVOF (msn BAC.131) of Autair International is seen gracefully taxing at Luton Airport in the year 1968. The One-Eleven, a short-range, twin-engine jet airliner, was developed by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) as a successor to the popular de Havilland Comet, the world's first jet airliner. The One-Eleven, with its distinctive T-tail design, was introduced in 1961 and quickly gained popularity for its fuel efficiency, range, and versatility. This particular aircraft, registered to Autair International, a well-known British aviation company specializing in aircraft sales and leasing, is seen here in its pristine condition. The image captures the essence of the aviation industry in the late 1960s, a time of innovation and progress in the field of air transportation. The One-Eleven was an important addition to the BAC's portfolio and played a significant role in the growth of the company. Its advanced design and capabilities made it a popular choice among airlines and private operators alike. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of British aviation and the pivotal role that the British Aircraft Corporation and its innovations played in shaping the modern aviation industry. The photograph's composition, with the One-Eleven framed against the backdrop of the airport's apron and the grey, overcast sky, adds to the sense of depth and atmosphere. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of aviation and the thrill of flight, making it a must-have for any aviation enthusiast or collector.
