Remarks: The very kind pilot of this aircraft invited me in to have a look inside, he said that it was a very heavy beast to fly due to the fact that it had no fly by wire system bieng an old aircraft, hence the fact it has old clockwork gauges.
Remarks: First shots from RIAT 2004. From the HS-125, this aircraft is used for crew training and is based at RAF Cranwell. Wearing smart black colour scheme, looks much better than the old white and red.
Remarks: Standing out surprisingly well against a leaden sky, XS711 arrives for the annual Fairford airshow. This aircraft belongs to 3FTS/55(R) Sqdn based at Cranwell.
