Details

The BAC 1-11 in Royal Aircraft Establishment markings represents a unique and highly specialised version of this classic British jetliner.

Developed by the British Aircraft Corporation, the BAC 1-11 proved to be not only a successful commercial aircraft but also an ideal platform for advanced research and flight testing.

Operated by the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Bedford, these aircraft were extensively modified to support a wide range of experimental programmes.

Used for aerodynamic studies, avionics testing, and systems development, the RAE BAC 1-11 often featured distinctive external probes, sensors, and instrumentation, giving it a very different appearance from standard airline versions.

Finished in a clean, functional livery, the aircraft reflects its scientific role rather than commercial service, making it particularly appealing to enthusiasts of experimental and research aviation.

The combination of classic airliner design with visible test equipment adds both visual interest and historical significance.

This model kit captures the unmistakable lines of the BAC 1-11, including its rear-mounted engines and T-tail configuration, while also highlighting the unique modifications associated with its research duties.

A perfect choice for modellers looking for something a little different, the BAC 1-11 Royal Aircraft Establishment offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of British aviation innovation and flight testing.
