Dan-Air London BAC One Eleven. Landing (wing view)

[@johnwood57]

Brilliant,i have not flown on a Bac 1-11 since the begining of the 1970's,it was a rare treat just to watch that video and listen to those Rolls Royce spey engines again, the aeroplanes today are boring too bloody quiet if you ask me,great stuff . 5*****

[@ChorltonM21]

In the early '70s me and fellow plane spotters were bored stiff with One Elevens at Ringway. Court Line, BMA, Laker, Dan Air, BCal, Bavaria Flugesellschaft etc. Would love to see one flying now though!

[@chrisjohnson6876]

LOL, fellow Ringway spotter here, that and those bloody Tridents and that damn 'YFR.....Great memories now tho

[@fl570]

Haha; same story nowadays with A320s/787s at Heathrow!

[@MrLetmein2011]

I agree , we saw them as too commonplace then , but oh its good to see one now .

[@adamsmrt]

I can't describe how I feel when I watch this. Having worked at Manchester airport for almost 2 years from April 2008 (todays modern gateway to the world), this is amazing to see.....the retro aircraft is just the icing on the cake. Thank you for posting this video, the old ones are the best!!

[@flymajj]

First time seeing and hearing the One Eleven from a passenger's perspective. Loved every second of these clips. Hope someone posts the same of a Trident one day!

[@JERRYinCHS]

Before my family made enough money to move out to Long Island (NY, USA) we lived in the east Bronx. I spent my young years watching planes flying approaches to RW22 at NY's LGA. When the wind was from the north the RW04 departures flew overhead. The BAC111-400's flown by American, Mohawk, Alleghany and a few others screamed like a squadron of F-4 Phantoms on climb out! It was all a young lad could ask for.

[@Mikeyp1054]

flew on a few of these in the 90s,going on holidays from gatwick to places like spain and the canaries.great little plane.great video mate

[@kinclair1939]

Great video. I flew on a Dan Air One-Eleven from London Gatwick to Pau in France on a school ski trip back in 1978.

[@powerpuffsouthpark]

WOW!!! After ALL these years, a passenger's eye (and ear) perspective video of a BAC 1-11 flight - here on KZbin! My warmest, sincerest gratitude to Simon Lowe for capturing this - and also to 1970sPlaneSpotter for uploading it - and bringing back in me such fond memories of my first airplane flight - and my toddlerhood.

[@DannoAviation]

Lovely footage! 4 years before I was born😁 loved seeing these @ LHR growing up..

[@SimonLoweAviation]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JeffGR4]

@1970sPlaneSpotter Thank you so much for this. Fantastic!! Seems as if we're flying. Extraordinary footage of the beloved "One Eleven." America's Braniff and Mohawk knew they had a winner when they chose the British BAC 1-11 over the DC-9.

[@alvaroalvarezcerbero8085]

Fui Station Manager de Dan Air en el aeropuerto de Madrid hasta su desaparición. Grandes recuerdos.

[@funflyer69]

Yes, this is the real Sound of Jet Engines. Great Aircraft and perfect Video. I love it.

[@Tottione1]

The sound coming from her engines when she was on her final approach was absolutely incredible!!!

[@EinkOLED]

I heard that Romania took over the production of the BAC 1-11 after BAC in bucharest IN THE LATE 60's. This video is such a rare opportunity to see this now obselete jet in action. The trailing fowler flap arrangement reminds me of the 727/vickers/TU-154. and the more recent fokker 100/70, the flap tracks petrude over the wing rather than below it. This is more of a occurance on aft mounted engines and particularly those of the early era.

[@lugash4]

my 1st flight was in 1971 luton to ibiza court line 1-11 we had to turn back over the channel as there was a slight crack in the pilots windscreen it took 6 hours to repair then we were off again!!!! So 2 take offs and landings in one day for my 1st flight bloody brilliant i was hooked on aircraft then!!!! I have many memorys of 1-11's court line and dan air flights i took...........visited the flight deck on many occasions times have changed so much it's a different world............

[@davids4795]

In the 70's Mohawk Airlines had a $29.95 special on the weekends, fly anywhere on their route system until midnight Sun. In high school me and three friends flew for a total of 14 hours on all their fleet aircraft, F-27 and the BAC-111. Fun memory!

[@ZOMb2010]

AHHHH..SIR SIMON you are one of the masters ...miss FL350 glad I found your videos again

[@SimonLoweAviation]

Thank you for the very kind comment!

[@koksy]

I flew on G-BJYM and G-BJMV as DA2830/1 BHX-ALC-BHX in 1985. It seemed much noisier on board than in this video! I seem to remember the announcements from the crew saying "After landing you will notice an increase in engine noise due to the reverse thrust slowing the aircraft down".

[@Texasstyle67]

In my X-Plane world i fly very often taht route with a BAC 1-11. Love so much that bird. Always remebers me when my Mom bought me during the holidays in the 70s a plastic plane full of chocolates. In that time didn*t knew what plane it was, but later i found out it was a model of an BAC 1-11.

[@ewandougie]

Standard for 1-11's the final stage of flap is designed to allow short field operations, however the final stage is high drag, therefore a large amount of power is required to overcome the drag induced by the flaps

[@richardkallio3868]

I love how the PF lands hot and doesn’t deploy reverse thrust. Must be a long runway, and/or he really knows the plane’s performance intimately (plus, there was likely no one landing immediately behind him, so that Control didn’t require him to exit the runway at the first taxiway).

[@gilwil59]

This video is really good, I went to Italy on a Dan Air Bac 1-11 in 1979, brings back memories.

[@paulbarker5179]

My first flight in a 1-11 was from Seeb to Thumrait Oman in 1984 very interesting spiral decent and approach with the front half of the cabin full with cargo and us poor airworks paxs in the rear.

[@jayh2415]

Oh How I miss them. I still have my plus points card and all my paper statements

[@discoveryshuttle]

0:55 Wow, even today your voice sounds just as beautiful as it was back there ❤

[@allancopland1768]

I travelled often on B-CAL 1-11's. Lovely old bird.

[@mcwolfus]

Keep these videos coming. Great old a/c.

[@christopherescott6787]

Large looking flaps on this bird. GREAT upload.

[@freddielaker2]

1966G-ATPJ manchester-palma British Eagle - my first flight. i love the b111. and there are still 1 or 2 about. Great vid.

[@leesmith8366]

Went on a caledonian 1-11 in 73 on way back was night time return went into cockpit fond memories

[@SimonLoweAviation]

Thanks hyper! I have the take-off from Gatwick as well.

[@3carson3]

BRILLIANT VIDEO!!

[@crayz745]

great sound!

[@leesmith8366]

Remember flying to alicante 1973 bac111 (isle of eriskay) then on way back night time to Gatwick was aloud for 10 mins in cockpit

[@leesmith8366]

Spelling awful "allowed "

[@SimonLoweAviation]

Hi. Sorry I don't know which 1-11 it was, only it was a scheduled shuttle flight between Manchester and Gatwick.

[@virginbluedude]

was the stewardess/hostess/flight attendant seat at the forward door of the aircraft for one person or 2? was there a jumpseat at the rear like on DC-9/727????

[@funflyer69]

Great Video, fantastic!!!!!!

[@Tottione1]

I seen all BAC1-11 land using high power on throttles, it's absolutely awsome!!!

[@Caipiroska243]

Yes, Romania did produce a handful (under a dozen), but as late as the 1980s. They were called ROMBAC 1-11s. I believe one is still flying in Somalia or Djibouti.

[@markrl75]

I can remember going into a Tarom ticket office in Iasi Romania about 10 years ago and they were still were displaying a large model of a Rombac 1-11 on their desk. By that time Tarom had actually replaced them with the Boeing 737.

[@Tottione1]

Even today's modern aircraft don't sound half as good as this one from inside the cabin!

[@nztv8589]

A random thought . I wonder if the grass you see between the taxiways is part of the original fields that was there before the taxiways and runways were built. If that were the case you’d be landing a,one’s ancient field systems . Or whether they were dug up and re planted ?

[@albertoestare5624]

Grandes recuerdos de ese avion, yo vole en 1973 en Peru extraodinario.

[@warrenhuffman4236]

Si, en particular los motores (RR SPEY) ,me encanta los Pratt & Whitney JT8Ds, este mi favorito, esp 727 y DC-9

[@antimatterXXXIII]

What a strange landing, he seemed to WANT to keep speed to get a good head of steam for the taxi roll. He was still hauling ass halfway down the runway and seemed to use almost no reverse thrust. I also notice the wing on this plane is something like that of the Lockheed L-1011. I wonder if the latter borrowed some ideas from it? It's definitely a different idea from the Boeing and Douglas wings.

[@abcdliverecordingthe6741]

Aircraft with engines at the back near the tail suffer from a problem that if you fly slowly you can start sinking and that this is difficult to recover from, hence you hear the revs increase near to the landing.

[@Shamrock100]

Aiming for a particular exit from the runway, no point in slowing prematurely.

[@richarddx22]

Back when jet engines sounded like jet engines, not that awful vibrator/leaf blower buzzing noise the modern ones make. Ugh.

[@warrenhuffman4236]

@reverse thrust I hear they want to reengine them with GE CF6-50s

[@chrisjohnson6876]

Yes, we can thanks the "do gooders" for that

[@gerardmoran9560]

I now live in Charleston, SC, US. Boeing has one of the final assembly plants for the 787 at the airport. One afternoon I heard a strange noise- sounded like a cross between a KingAir and a weed-whacker. I ran to the door and saw a 787 returning from a test flight. Beautiful looking jet but the noise is pathetic.

[@thecaynuck4694]

Although the buzzsaw is actually a good sound, especially on older planes. Sad that the MD-90's are gone now.

[@ChristianVogel1972]

me recuerda cuando en austral vole con este bac tantas veces me gusto x eso lo subo!!!!

[@cantliff9]

What an aircraft, such a shame I will never get the privilege of flying on one of these. I was 4 back in 92'

[@SimonLoweAviation]

I was a passenger who loves filming anything to do with aviation. I don't remember which aircraft type it was. Thanks for the comment.

[@aqprider]

Great video! Thanks! love BAC 1-11 !

[@gilwil59]

It was Naples that I went to from Manchester on the 3rd July 1979

[@musico81986]

Wow...incredible footage! +5

[@jamietti]

Is that only this particular approach or have the approach patterns been changed since the 1980's and early 90's for being less noisy. I can remember when I was a kid in the 80's and returning from holidays with my parents. Watching the flaps come out more and more and engines throttling up. Just like on this clip. They almost seemed to accelerate at some point or flying level for a long time. Before suddenly easing and touching down. Now a days they just glide down smoothly. As I recollect.

[@MartinNeep]

jamietti There is much more emphasis today on trying to achieve what’s known as a CDA (Continuous Descent Approach). Traditionally, the aircraft would level off at the platform altitude (approx 2500ft above aerodrome level), and then intercept the glide slope fully configured at the required approach speed. Today aircraft will attempt to descend continuously from the terminal area, sometimes intercepting the glide slope from above. Most operators also fly a decelerated approach, in a low drag configuration. This involves leaving the landing gear and intermediate flap setting retracted until approx 4-5nm from touch down. If done successfully, the engines will remain at idle, or close to idle until they spool up to maintain the final approach speed. Not only does this save fuel, it also reduces the aircraft’s noise footprint. Interestingly by today’s standards, I doubt that the landing depicted in this video would meet most operators criteria for a stabilised approach.

[@3replybiz]

Planes with engines mounted at the back so to speak, have a tendency to sink if flown slowly, so low-and-slow near the ground is not a good idea. Hence the considerable increase in revs on the approach. Much safer that way.

[@Tottione1]

I went to Naples many times on this plane from Manchester in the mid 80's

[@ThingsWithEngines]

Is that a Jersey European liveried F27 I see at 3:38?

[@freddielaker2]

I was talking about my first flight not this one, chances are it was and yes I used to see PJ in Liverpool often, Its a pity we cant confirm it. I just love simon's vids and told him so. I wonder if he knows which 1-11 it was? Simon - over to you

[@IanFreeman-x2f]

One of the best

[@jerseyscampi]

I have a flight filmed on board a dan air bac 1-11 from gatwick to jersey in 1992. It's still on video camera tape so I will try and get in on here

[@Locker10a]

Cool video !! i wish i had gotten to fly on an BAC-111 . I saw an aer lingus737 as 2:30 !!

[@eltfell]

The last time I saw a BAC 1-11 was end of October 1997 in Düsseldorf. They seem to have died out :-(

[@anthonyjohnson8672]

Spey 512-14 DW engines,,lovely sound

[@luckilj]

Used to work on the old DA 1-11s at BWA .. happy days.. cept for G-OBWE! ufffff!

[@nicholasbenies6456]

BAC 1-11, Loud 'n' Proud !

[@FrontSideBus]

Quite a bit of drag off those flaps on full extension!

[@virginbluedude]

thanks very much! were you cabin crew? what airline did you work for? also was this for the smaller BAC-111's or the stretched version? or both?

[@Caipiroska243]

Granted, I was very young when I flew on 1-11s, but I really imagined them to sound different to how these videos show. Really no different at all to an F28.

[@doveronefoxtrot4417]

Same engines.

[@REI02021809]

There was even a Fokker F27 aswell

[@dutchgoing]

@spider23000 Ouch! I recall flying on BAC 1-11 s in the early 1980s. Good fun!

[@Fliying6]

Amazingggggggg

[@oneworld5557]

@marshalllucky this is a bac-111 not a 727

[@REI02021809]

When was that 1-11 built

[@REI02021809]

Like the F27 in the video

[@maskedavenger2578]

I remember back in the mid 1960’s British Eagle flew 1/11 ‘s out of the old Speke Airport Liverpool .When they were spooling up the engines the roar used to make the whole ground shake on Speke Boulevard .Magnificent sight as they thundered off into the sky like a rocket .Now the new Jet turbo fans sound like hairdryers limp with no character .

[@N145PM]

great vid! Love that sexy F-27 at 3:42 !

[@geoffphuketInPhuket]

Of course, the underpowered Spey engine was also the One-Eleven's downfall. Had Rolls Royce been able to produce a more powerful replacement, it might have gone on to greater things.

[@chrisprimera]

i flew on a Dan Air BAC one eleven from Manchester to Faro whan was bout 8 yo!!

[@SuperMole666]

amazing as if it was just filmed british and proud that must have been the same year they went broke

[@N145PM]

strange no arrival announcement

[@THECALIFORNIAJET]

Aeroflot actually just got some 777-300

[@kiwibelt]

GOD, those flaps come down slow!!!!

[@Locker10a]

were you cabin crew

[@davidhunt3808]

It is a shamr that they are not around any more ,I used to really enjoy my 1-11 flights on BA !!!

[@anjingUK]

Who would have thought in 20+ years that parking spot would be for the A380 :)
