Avro RJs / BAe 146s at Norwich Airport in 2024!

[@vipbizjets]

Amazing catch and fantastic footage !!! Huge LIKE.

[@norwichaviation]

Thank you! It was great to see these Avro RJs!

[@martindehavilland-fox3175]

Still one of my favorite aircraft to operate as cabin crew back in my AirUK days ❤

[@norwichaviation]

Nice! There is an AirUK Fokker F27 aircraft in the aviation museum next to Norwich Airport currently.

[@martindehavilland-fox3175]

@norwichaviation I remember them too - just not with the same affection 🤣 Which aircraft is it?

[@norwichaviation]

G-BHMY - There are some photos of it online, taken from the museum.

[@martindehavilland-fox3175]

@norwichaviation I remember her very well passing through ABZ in the late 80s and early 90s heading down the east coast and over to SVG and BGO in Norway. The sad thing is she'll probably still be there in a museum long after I'm gone 😆

This rugged plane can land and take off where others will have to give up - especially in very bad weather conditions - have saved my ass several times especially in the northern atlantic region ...

[@swissaviation]

Brilliant footage of this legendary aircraft. We used to have tons of them at ZRH but nowadays it has become a privilege to see them!

[@norwichaviation]

Thank you, the Avro RJ is one of my favourite aircraft! It’s a shame that there aren’t many of them about anymore. I’m hoping that Norwich Airport will get a few more visit next year. 👍

[@EURAMBLER]

cool 👍

[@norwichaviation]

Thank you! These aircraft are very rare to see now :(

[@EURAMBLER]

@norwichaviation agree

[@davidkavanagh189]

Putting Norwich on the map! Alan Partridge would be proud!

[@paulkirkland3263]

Nice to see anything with four engines these days. Great video.

[@norwichaviation]

Yes it is! Thanks!

[@cliveluff6622]

Great to see. I used to love flying on the Manx Airlines 146s to the Island for my holidays.

[@martindehavilland-fox3175]

@@cliveluff6622 That would have been G-MIMA 🤔

[@majorminor3367]

​@martindehavilland-fox3175 the very first one I saw in the late 1980s In Manx Airlines livery was G-OJET

[@AirplaneGuy90]

nice catch! I love the Avros

[@norwichaviation]

Thank you! They are great to see, and are very rare nowadays!

The last takeoff shot was terrific! Great footage, mate! ;)

[@norwichaviation]

Thanks! That is one of my favourite videos that I have ever recorded :) It used up quite a bit of the runway, especially for being an empty aircraft with no one onboard!

[@DaveVarley-Queenmagic]

great video looks awesome

[@norwichaviation]

Thank you! It is always great to see an Avro RJ, because they are so rare nowadays!

[@ohareplanespotting]

Amazing!

[@grantmiller6570]

Holy shit shit - summit Air at 1:02 had a hell of a cross wind there. Nicely managed though.

[@norwichaviation]

Yes, I think the crosswind was over 30 KTS at the time of recording that! I thought that it might go around at one point 😅

[@emmasaxton4870]

Oh that’s an excellent compilation 👏🏻

[@norwichaviation]

Thanks!

[@FlightFanaticsHD]

Amazing video 👏

[@norwichaviation]

Thank you!

[@ZRHSPOTTER-sw3ot]

Great video

[@norwichaviation]

Thank you!

[@rsambrook]

My first airliner type rating back in 2001 (City Flyer). Great aircraft. Now a A350 Captain. 👨‍✈️

[@norwichaviation]

Oh nice! The Avro RJ is one of my favourite aircraft to see. I like the A350 too, but never had the chance to see one IRL.

[@christianlebordelais]

De beaux jets 🙂

[@norwichaviation]

Yes! Sadly they are quite rare now 😢

[@AviationAirplaneTV]

Great video mate

[@norwichaviation]

Thanks!

[@Mirkouhi]

Wow Ana I g video. Thanks for sharing✔️✔️✔️

[@norwichaviation]

Thanks! It was great to see these Avro RJs. 👍

[@IslandaviationTerceiraAzores]

Another fantastic upload!

[@norwichaviation]

Thank you!

[@scotty6346]

I never understood why these had 4 small engines instead of 2 bigger ones producing the same thrust, Surely maintenance would be cheaper with 2 engines?

[@norwichaviation]

I'm not completely sure either, so after a quick google search, this seems to be the reason: " Four engines make steep approaches and short take-offs safer (in the event of an engine being lost, 75% of total thrust is still available)"

[@brecklander]

Also back in the day, there were limitations on twin engine aircraft flying extended trips over water. I believe the 146 fell out of favour in the US because pilots of 4 engine aircraft had to be paid more than they got flying twins like the 737.

[@henrybanham686]

Great video mate What’s going on with the Tenerife flight have you seen? 😟

[@norwichaviation]

Thank you! I'm not sure why it was delayed so much, but it just departed a few minutes ago. Apparently some engineers were looking at it. I went to try and get a night photo of it, but it started taxiing out only 10 seconds before I got there :(

[@henrybanham686]

@ oh that’s strange! Shame you missed it :( I live in the old catton area and saw it takeoff 🛫

[@riki.kappe5342]

B747のようにエンジンが4つあるのですね🤔

[@norwichaviation]

Yes, 4 tiny engines! The Avro RJ is rare to see nowadays.
