Classic Wings BAC One-Eleven Part 2 : £17.95 : 67 minutes
This DVD continues the story of the BAC 1-11, following the first four years of sales success that were covered in Classic Wings - BAC One-Eleven Part 1.
Using digital video and restored colour film from the BAE Archives, the introduction of the Series 500 and the development of two high performance 1-11s, the Series 475 and 670, are shown in detail. As the 1-11’s service life lengthened, so did the number of operators. Over 40 of them are seen on this DVD; from BEA to Savannah Airlines.
Highlights include:
Early years in the UK with Autair, Court Line, Dan Air, BIA and BCal.
LACSA 1-11s in service at Miami.
Merpati Nusantara, Air Pacific, Air Malawi and Oman Air Force.
BEA at Heathrow and Tempelhof. BA at Munich and Dusseldorf.
Tarom, Germanair, Phoenix, Cyprus and Cambrian.
Nigerian operators and South Africa’s Nationwide Airlines.
A flightdeck ride on a European Series 530.
Final years of UK operations with AB Airlines, British World and EAL.
and lots more!

DVD formats explained
There are several different kinds of DVD available so here's a simple guide.
DVDs are 'pressed' from a master disc.
DVD-Rs are 'burnt' from a master DVD, just like copying one CD to another.
DVDs and DVD-Rs will play in any computer DVD drive [but not in a CD drive].
All our DVDs/DVD-Rs are 'region-free', so they will play anywhere in the world. However, if you're not watching your DVDs on a computer, you will need to ensure they are compatible with your national TV system. There are two main types; PAL and NTSC.
PAL TV is used in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and many other Commonwealth countries. PAL DVDs are therefore the obvious choice for those countries.
Because PAL DVD players will also play NTSC DVDs without any adverse effect on picture quality, DVDs that were filmed in NTSC are now released as PAL/NTSC DVDs, as the same format can be used world-wide.
NTSC TV systems are used in the USA, Canada, Japan and some other countries. If you have a multi-system DVD player, this will play either NTSC or PAL DVDs, and you should also buy our PAL DVDs and PAL/NTSC DVDs.
Most US DVD players are multi-region, not multi-system, and you will need to buy our NTSC DVD-Rs and PAL/NTSC DVDs.
Some early DVD players would not play DVD-Rs. If you buy a DVD-R from us and it is not compatible with your DVD player, we will provide a full refund, including your postage.
Postage and packing charges
Not only are our postal charges some of the lowest in the UK, we don't charge any extra to ship DVDs to any destination worldwide.
The more DVDs you buy in one order, the lower the postal charges. Buy four or more and there is no postal charge at all. Buy five or more and we'll add Special Delivery or Priority Airmail at no extra cost.
That's great value!
- 1 DVD ~ £1.50
- 2 or 3 DVDs ~ £2.00
- 4 DVDs ~ Free Delivery
- More than 4 DVDs ~ Free Special Delivery or Priority Airmail
