The HS.125 - Britain's Most Successful Commercial Jet

Good Morning! :D

While it may be but a humble business jet, the Hawker Siddeley HS.125, also known as the De Havilland DH.125, the BAe 125 and the Hawker 800, is distinguishable for a number of reasons, being the longest produced single business jet model, the highest selling British civil airliner, the longest selling British civil airliner, the only business jet model to be hijacked in mid-air, and the only recorded business jet to survive being struck by an air-to-air missile.

Truly, behind its sleek lines and unassuming role, the HS.125 Jet Dragon truly lived up to it's name as a machine that took the world by storm, only being discontinued due to the fiscal collapse of its parent company after 50 years of uninterrupted assembly.
