the two BAC 1-11s (registration numbers N162W and N164W) are moving toward retirement. Sixty-two will leave service this year, with 64 to follow in 2019 or 2020. And so, the BAC 1-11, a pioneer in passenger jet travel, will become part of history.

http://bac1-11jet.co.uk/Northrop Grumman have finally announced that BAC 1-11 N162W has been retired from service. As of 22 March 2018 the aircraft is officially retired and is having its program system equipment removed. A final decision will be made in due course as to whether or not it will be scrapped at its Baltimore Washington base or flown out to Mojave to join the other two 1-11s cannibalised for spares by the company. It's final hours and landings are as follows:- Total Aircraft Time 54,262.6 hrs Total Aircraft Cycles 38,671 ldgs It is a great shame that the company didn't share the historic value of these two wonderful aeroplanes and carry out a final photoshoot!
