Historical overview of the Scottish Aviation Bulldog T.1

The Scottish Aviation Bulldog is a British, modern trainer aircraft, developed in the 1960s by Beagle Aircraft as the B.125 Bulldog, and subsequently produced by Scottish Aviation and British Aerospace. The prototype's maiden flight took place on May 19, 1969 at Shoreham Airport. From the outset, the aircraft was designed as a trainer for military pilots. It features a low-wing design, fixed landing gear, and a Lycoming IO-360-A1B6 engine producing 200 hp, enabling a maximum speed of 240 km/h.

Bulldog aircraft were intensively used by the Royal Air Force from the 1970s until the 21st century as the main training aircraft. Moreover, they were exported to many countries, including Sweden, Malaysia, and Kenya. Selected examples could be armed with a 7.62 mm machine gun or carry up to 290 kg of ordnance, thus increasing the aircraft’s combat potential. The “RAF Special” kit allows you to replicate one of the striking and unique paint schemes used in the British air force.
