Grumman Gulfstream G-159

Post by GCIJem » Sun Jan 21, 2018 1:46 pm

The Rolls Royce Dart engined G-159 was always a rare type to catch at most UK airports - here's a few pics from my collection, looking forward to seeing a few more added to the post.

Some excellent posts so far. I can only manage a few from long past.

G-BKJZ was at Fairford in 1987 operated by Rolls-Royce.

I remember G-AWYF and another one was G-BRAL, Shell owned G-ASXT - did Ford ever own it?

Edit :- 'SXT was transferred from Shell to Ford in 1967, isn't Google wonderful? :lol:
