ROMBAC 1-11
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ROMBAC 1-11 was a Romanian-built version of the short-range passenger British civilian airliner BAC 1-11. It was built at the Romaero plant in Bucharest between 1982 and 1989 under licence from the British Aircraft Corporation. The programme was brought to a premature halt by the political and economic instability surrounding the Romanian Revolution of 1989, and only nine aircraft were built out of the eighty that had been planned. Most were operated by the Romanian airlines TAROM and Romavia, though as of 2006, almost all have been retired from service, with the notable exception of Romavia, which still uses 2 of them.
