BAC One-Eleven 510ED, G-AVMH: A Piece of Aviation History This photograph showcases the sleek and elegant lines of the BAC One-Eleven 510ED, registration number G-AVMH, as it gracefully taxis along the tarmac. The BAC One-Eleven, developed by British Aircraft Corporation (BAC), is a twin-engine, short-range airliner that first took to the skies in 1966. This particular aircraft, G-AVMH, was delivered new to British European Airways (BEA) in 1973. The BAC One-Eleven was a significant advancement in aviation technology, featuring a unique design with a T-tail and a low-wing configuration. Its advanced design allowed for improved fuel efficiency and reduced noise levels, making it a popular choice among airlines for short-haul flights. The 510ED variant, which entered service in 1974, was an upgraded version of the original One-Eleven, featuring more powerful engines and an extended range. G-AVMH, with its distinctive red, white, and blue livery, was a familiar sight at airports across Europe during its time with BEA. The aircraft served faithfully with the airline until it was retired from service in the late 1990s. Today, G-AVMH is a cherished piece of aviation history, preserved in a museum or private collection, where it continues to inspire awe and admiration among aviation enthusiasts. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and elegance of aviation history, capturing a moment in time when technology and design came together to create a truly iconic aircraft. The BAC One-Eleven, and specifically G-AVMH, represents a significant chapter in the story of commercial aviation, and serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and innovation that drives the industry forward.
