Bahamas Philately: 1970 Goodwill Caravan – 15c B.A.C. One Eleven Airliner

The BAC One-Eleven was an early jet airliner produced by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC). Originally conceived by Hunting Aircraft as a 30-seat jet, before its merger into BAC in 1960, it was launched as an 80-seat airliner with a British United Airways order on 9 May 1961. The prototype conducted its maiden flight on 20 August 1963, and it was first delivered to its launch customer on 22 January 1965.

The 119-seat, stretched 500 series was introduced in 1967. Bahamasair operated the stretched 500 model with a service between Nassau and Miami
