EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1962 SBAC Farnborough Air Show, the de Havilland DH.125, registration G-ARYA (msn 25001), takes center stage. This remarkable aircraft was the very first prototype of the DH.125/HS-125 family, a series of business jets that would later become renowned for their versatility and performance. The DH.125, briefly known as the Jet Dragon, made its debut at the airshow between the 3rd and 9th of September 1962. With its sleek design and innovative features, it quickly attracted the attention of aviation enthusiasts and industry professionals alike. The DH.125 was a significant departure from de Havilland's previous designs, as it marked their entry into the jet age. The DH.125 was powered by two Rolls-Royce Spey Mk.512 engines, capable of producing 4,500 pounds of thrust each. This powerful engine configuration allowed the aircraft to reach a top speed of over 500 miles per hour and cruise at a speed of around 460 miles per hour. The aircraft's range was also impressive, with the ability to fly over 2,000 miles without refueling. In the photograph, G-ARYA is seen taxying on the runway, its engines idling as it prepares for its next demonstration flight. The aircraft's distinctive livery, featuring the de Havilland logo and the Union Jack, adds to its regal presence. The DH.125 would go on to have a successful career in aviation, serving as a testbed for various improvements and modifications, and paving the way for the HS-125 series, which would become a staple in the business jet market. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the excitement and innovation that surrounded the early days of business aviation, and the pivotal role that the de Havilland DH.125 played in shaping the industry.
