This is the historic aircraft with registration number 5N-AER used by OJUKWU during his active period for the emancipation of the Republic of Biafra.
Aircraft name is Hawker Siddeley 125 (HS-125). A presidential aircraft as at the time active.
Even though the Aircraft was flown into the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, Zaria in serviceable working condition and parked. It is now a SCRAP used for training of Pilots/Aircraft Engineers and viewing for school children who come for excursion. The Aircraft is parked in front of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering School Hangar.
I guess the interior might still be clean since it has not been opened for years but the flown in serviceable aircraft is now looking tattered possibly because it’s not being maintained.
Don’t you think Nigerian government should allocate a maintenance vote to this historic aircraft or at worst preserve it in the museum as artifact for growing young Nigerians to know that the Biafra/civil war that took the lives of millions is real?
