Forget the 125s, look at that delicious Luftwaffe JetStar in the second shot!

I haven't processed many genuine HS-125 shots yet, many BAE/Hawker though

Hope you don't mind me putting up quite a few - I've trawled my archives and found these which I hope will be of some interest.

Luton is always a good place for bizjets so here's an assorted trio for you:

Netjets CS-DRB from October 2005

and from Feb 2007 HB-VKW

I hope I haven't been greedy - if so please let me know (politely!)

They looked great in Maersk livery - I saw one at Heathrow but couldn't get a shot. I love the early Viper-engined versions too.

here's a selection of varying vintages from me:

starting at Stansted in 1972 G-AVDX of CAFU:

G-BBGU at Luton in Oct 1972:

not sure where I took this or when, it was early 1970s G-WBPR:

three (2 of G-UWWB) from Farnborough 1986:

125-800




125-1000


Hawker 850xpi

This one seems to have dropped off a bit so I thought I would kick it off again. This group of aircraft pretty much pay my wages every month so I have a huge collection of photos, some offering perhaps a slightly different view than the norm i.e from the hangar,cockpit/interiors, paint shop etc....and of course lots of the usual side and 3/4 shots. So with that said, here are a few to start, and I will add more as I go through them all:


5N-BNE















800B Cockpit

750XP Cockpit

800XP Cockpit











CS-DRT

Did the CAA operate any other 125 apart from G-AVDX? If not then I saw that particular aircraft many times when I was based at RAF Northolt. Whenever it appeared on the arrivals list we knew who the passengers would be, either Michael Foot or Tony Benn as they refused to fly in RAF aircraft.

Here's a history of the CAFU which details the aircraft used. Initially they had HS.125 G-ATPC which in 1970 was about to be replaced by G-AVDX, there's a photo of the 2 together on the page, saying G-ATPC was about to be retired so they had both for a short while

there appears to be some details blanked out in the document btw

Here's all of mine. Hope I haven't overdone it!
