History of the Hawker Siddeley Dominie T.1 aircraft

The Hawker Siddeley Dominie T.1 was developed on the basis of the HS.125 business jet. The aircraft entered RAF service in 1965 and was intensively used until 2011. Its main role was to train navigators and air crew on the operation of advanced navigation and communication stations. It was primarily used during the Cold War by various RAF training units, such as No. 6 FTS RAF in Finningley and Cranwell.

The Dominie T.1 was an invaluable learning tool for future bomber and transport aircraft crews. In its later years, it was also used for VIP transportation flights. The Airfix model faithfully captures the specific features of the T.1 training version, including its distinctive fuselage and wing profiles.
