In the early 1990s British Aerospace decided on a number of improvements to the 146 family, such as digital avionics and integrating a different engine. To emphasise the changes, British Aerospace decided to re-brand the aircraft in 1992 as the Avro Regional Jet, with each model identified by its approximate passenger capacity: RJ70 (former 146-100), RJ85 (former 146-200) and RJ100 (former 146-300).
Specially painted to promote the Avro series of regional jetliners, these Avro RJs illustrate the three family variants which were launched in the early 1990s.

One that fell by the wayside - London/Luton-based Debonair began operations on June 19, 1996, its early fleet comprising seven BAe 146-200s leased from US Airways, which had previously stored the aircraft for six years at Mojave. A further three Srs 200s, two Srs 100s and latterly a pair of Boeing 737-300s joined the fleet, but the carrier consistently failed to make a profit and finally succumbed to the inevitable on October 1, 1999, when it entered receivership. At that time it was operating eight of its fleet under franchise agreements for Lufthansa Cityline and Swissair Express, but its refusal to drop fares to compete with its rivals, and its use of the 146s rather than larger 737s to maximise revenues, probably contributed to its downfall. Seen here is one of the first two aircraft to join the fleet, BAe 146-200 G-DEBC, which remains active today with BMI Commuter as G-CLHA, as one of four operating Lufthansa flights under a wet-lease agreement.

For decades, former airliners such as the Douglas DC-4, DC-6, and DC-7 have dominated what is now known as the large air tanker (LAT) category. Today the LAT platforms of choice are the BAe 146 and Avro RJ85. Both of these four engine jets can operate from smaller airfields to deliver a payload of 3,000 US gallons (11,356 litres). Owned by Aero-Flite of Spokane, Washington, this RJ85A N354AC, Tanker #161, shows the distinguishing cheek tanks that differentiate it from internal tanks on the BAe 146 tanker.
