A particularly handsome looking aeroplane, the Handley Page Jetstream
was a sleek twin engined turboprop aircraft designed as a regional
airliner and specifically to satisfy the potentially lucrative US
market. The Jetstream offered great promise, especially when an order
for 20 aircraft was placed, even before the design drawings had been
completed. Re-engining the aircraft with a US Garrett TPE-331 turboprop
powerplant resulted in a significant order from the USAF being placed,
but this was subsequently cancelled, due to late delivery. Spiralling
costs resulted in the bankruptcy of Handley Page, however, production of
the Jetstream was taken over by Scottish Aviation and the Jetstream
would go on to serve as the RAFrsquo;s standard multi-engined pilot
trainer for many years and later as an observer trainer with the Royal
Navy. BAE SYSTEMS is a registered trade mark of BAE Systems plc. Please
