The Royal Air Force (RAF) has retired the first of its four British Aerospace BAe-146s, with the aircraft, ZE701 (c/n E1029), arriving at Imperial War Museum (IWM) Duxford in late January to join the British Airliner Collection.
A second example, ZE700 (c/n E1021), has also been saved and, as Airliner World went to press, was set to arrive at South Wales Aviation Museum – located close to Bro Tathan Airfield, once part of MOD St Athan – in the coming weeks.
