EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the sleek and elegant Hawker Siddeley HS-125-1 business jet, registration G-ASSI (msn 25008), as it sits majestically on the tarmac at RAF Turnhouse, located just opposite Edinburgh Airport, in the early 1970s. The Hawker Siddeley HS-125-1, a product of the British aerospace manufacturer Hawker Siddeley, was a popular choice among private aviation enthusiasts and executives during this era. The aircraft, operated by Merlot International Aviation Ltd., boasts a distinctive red and white livery that adds to its visual appeal. The HS-125-1 was known for its advanced design and impressive performance capabilities, including a maximum cruising speed of over 400 miles per hour and a range of over 2,000 miles. The image captures the essence of the golden age of private aviation, with the aircraft's wings gleaming in the sunlight and the tarmac bustling with activity. The backdrop of RAF Turnhouse, a former Royal Air Force base that was repurposed for civilian use, adds to the sense of history and adventure. The Hawker Siddeley HS-125-1, with its distinctive shape and powerful engines, represented the pinnacle of private aviation technology at the time. This photograph is a testament to the allure and romance of flight, and serves as a reminder of the important role that business aviation has played in shaping the world of travel and commerce.
