The Hawker Siddeley HS-748 first flew in June of 1960 and was produced from 1961 through 1988, a total of 380 were built.
ZS-NWW, an HS748-2B with serial number 1786, started its life in 1981 with DLT before going to British Airways as G-HDBC from 1988 to 1994 and joining Executive Aerospace in 1995 where it operated until 2007.
In 1999 while Just Planes was filming all of Air Namibia's fleet we were lucky enough to hitch a ride on this HS-748 operated by Executive Aerospace on behalf of Air Namibia. Its not an aircraft type you get to ride every day!
