In this photograph, the Hawker Siddeley HS.125 series 1B jet, registration number 9J-RAN (msn 25067), is seen gracefully parked at Hatfield during an open day, prior to its delivery to Mines Air Services in Zambia. Circa 1966, this image offers a rare glimpse into the aviation history of the time. The Hawker Siddeley HS.125, a versatile and advanced business jet, was a popular choice for both civilian and military applications. This particular model, the series 1B, was known for its impressive performance and sleek design. With a maximum speed of over 450 miles per hour and a range of around 2,000 miles, it was an ideal aircraft for long-distance flights. During the open day at Hatfield, aviation enthusiasts and industry professionals had the opportunity to admire the HS.125 series 1B up close. The aircraft's distinctive shape and elegant lines were on full display, as it sat proudly among other aircraft and aeronautical models. The engine exhausts were still warm from the test flights, adding to the sense of excitement and anticipation in the air. After the open day, 9J-RAN was prepared for its journey to Zambia, where it would join the Mines Air Services fleet. This British-built jet would go on to serve an essential role in the transportation of passengers and cargo, contributing to the economic growth and development of the region. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the enduring allure of aircraft such as the Hawker Siddeley HS.125 series 1B. It offers a unique perspective on the past, and serves as a reminder of the incredible advancements that have shaped the world of flight.
