Some really great nostalgic pictures posted so far.

I've always has a good regard for the 146 and flown in a number in the UK and USA over the years. Here's a selection of my images of them.

The mixed aircraft formations from BAe were always a favourite of mine at the SBAC Farnborough shows

The owner of Discovery went on to set up Debonair in the UK, again using the 146 and the same livery - lasting about 3 years that was significantly greater than the 1 week of their first try

Cranfield seems to be the home of the 146/RJ between maintenance and scrapping. Here's a few of the more interesting examples over the last couple of years:
