That it was not

Deliveries began in 1965 , the Boeing 727 entered service in 1964
and the Tupolev TU-124 entered service between Moscow and
Ulyanovsk in December 1962

The 727 was a larger plane.



The 727-100 could carry 131 pax, the contemporary
BAC-111-400 carried 89

Substantially bigger.



But still a short haul airliner that entered service before the
BAC-111 contrary to your claim that the 111 was first.

More medium haul.
