EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and elegant Grumman G-1159 Gulfstream II A9C-BG, registered as A9-CBG, of the Bahrain Amiri Royal Flight, parked at London Heathrow Airport around 1980. The Gulfstream II, with manufacturing serial number 202, is a long-range business jet that was renowned for its speed, comfort, and versatility during its era. The Bahrain Amiri Royal Flight is the private aviation division of the Kingdom of Bahrain, responsible for transporting the royal family and other high-ranking officials. This particular aircraft, adorned with the royal crest on its tail, reflects the prestige and exclusivity associated with royal travel. The Gulfstream II, a product of Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, was introduced in 1963 and remained in production until 1983. Powered by two Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8 engines, the aircraft boasted a cruising speed of over 500 miles per hour, making it a popular choice among the elite and affluent. As the jet sits quietly on the tarmac at Heathrow, the image captures the essence of a bygone era in aviation history. The photograph's composition, with the Gulfstream II framed against the backdrop of the airport's iconic control tower and the surrounding landscape, adds to its timeless appeal.
