Only 2 for use in Afganistan seems a small improvement and the Qinetiq replacements are a good move! :ymapplause:

Only flown in one and that was a 32 (The Royal) Sqn machine, so I somehow doubt these newish one's will be fitted out quite so well! =))

Sounds interesting. I regularly "saw in" and flew on Titan's 146's when I was on VASS in Al Udeid. They were based at Muharraq in Bahrain. Also, saw in plenty of 32 sqn HS125's and 146's used for VIP usage. Nice nippy little jets - much better option than vibrating to death on a C-130k. Spend 8 hours on one coming back from Cyprus recently - hell!

Hope Boscombe's BAC1-11 is preserved somewhere!
