Giorgio N Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Are the 125s going to be replaced with a different type or will they be not replaced ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Not sure Giorgio, can't find anything about them. It would appear the Sea Kings at Lossie were officially stood down on Tuesday, can't believe this wasn't better publicised! http://www.fightercontrol.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=112245 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Just found an article from the Sunday Times in December saying the Royal Flight HS125's are being retired 7 years early and not being replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 The 125s are being 'replaced' by the two ex-civillian 146 C3s that were bought for use in Afghanistan - brought into core funding from UOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Two or three of those 125s are snow stored at the A281 end of Dunsfold by the runway at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 How old are those birds now by the way? I am old enough to recall Airfix bringing out their Dominie what seems like once upon a time ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 The youngest (ZE serials) would be mid 80s, the 4 older ones 82/83. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
