Wow. I wonder if the control surfaces would still have been
controllable from the cockpit if the plane was equipped with a
fly-by-wire system instead of conventional mechanical controls.

I allegedly maintain a couple of 800's. Hawkers are built
hell-for-stout and as you indicate are an old-fashioned "mechanical"
airplane.

Been that way since the early '60's (first flew in '62?)

Did you hear about the one that survived the SAM strike?
