In this photograph, the Hawker Siddeley HS.125 series 3B-RA G-AVDX (msn 25113) takes center stage at Hatfield Open Day, circa 1966. This particular business jet, manufactured by Hawker Siddeley, was undergoing preparations before its delivery to Air Hanson Limited. However, an unexpected turn of events led to its return to the manufacturer. The HS.125 series 3B-RA G-AVDX, a sleek and sophisticated aeronautical marvel, was later sold to the Department for Trade and Industry for the Civil Aviation Flying Unit. This unit played a crucial role in providing training and support for the UK civil aviation industry.
