Rolling on runway 28 on a snowy day.

Approaching runway 28 on a typical Irish spring morning.

Speeding along runway 24R. The 1-11 needed plenty of runway to become airborne on a warm day!

Approaching 9R at MIA. other regns were G-AXLN, PP-SDU, TG-AYA, G-EKPT, EI-CCX and 5N-EYI.

This 1-11 started life as G-AXLN with BMA in 1970 and like many of its kind spent its twilight years in Nigeria. Although looking extremely smart here it was been scrapped at Lagos as part of the cull of older jets a few years ago
