Rolls Royce Viper Turbojet from an Aermacchi MB-326 The Viper was a turbojet engine developed and produced by Armstrong-Siddeley and then by its successor companies Bristol-Siddeley and Rolls-Royce. ...

The aircraft went through many designation changes during its service life. Originally DH.125, it was renamed the HS.125 after de Havilland became a division of Hawker Siddeley in 1963. When Hawker Siddeley Aircraft merged with BAC to form British Aerospace in 1977, the name changed to BAe 125. Then, when British Aerospace sold its Business Jets Division to Raytheon in 1993, the jet acquired the moniker Raytheon Hawker. The fuselage, wings and vertical tail are to this day fully assembled and partially equipped (primary and secondary flight controls) in Airbus UK's Broughton plant in Wales, sub-assemblies are produced in Airbus UK's Buckley (Bwcle in Welsh) site. All these assembled components are then shipped to Wichita, Kansas in the United States, to where final assembly was transferred in 1996.
