G-AXEK was demonstrated to potential buyers in Australia. Besides being too sophisticated and too large for the stage of development of third-level airlines in Australia, the Jetstream 1 was underpowered and unreliable and had poor payload range performance. It returned to the UK and was sold in the US as a corporate aircraft (N1FY) in 1972. This photo is copyright © David Carter, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
