ARD200 British European Airways BEA "Speedjack Tail" BAC One Eleven Series 510ED G-AVMV Scale 1/200 ARDBA127

British European Airways One-Eleven G-AVMV.

This aircraft was delivered to BEA in 1970 and served primarily on domestic routes within the UK and some international services. Designed as a short-haul airliner, it was known for its distinctive T-tail and twin jet configuration, which allowed for relatively quiet operation, making it suitable for airports near urban areas.

G-AVMV was part of the fleet during a remarkable period when British Airways was emerging as a significant player in the aviation industry, especially after the merger of BOAC and BEA in 1974. The One-Eleven played a vital role in connecting cities across Europe and beyond.
