There a private jet waited. Hughes inspected the Hawker Siddeley 748,
It was during this time of high adventure that Howard Hughes discovered Watergate. He was looking at a picture of an airplane in the London Express when he noticed a story about the crisis he had unwittingly
caused.
I'd recalled this as a DH125 some twenty years after reading this book
but then - my appologies.

And yes, I was present in the room in the Holiday Inn in Newton, Iowa,on New Year's eve after a flight in our Beech Baron N7826R up to Iowa for a sales closing in Baxter near there, when McClain sung his song for the
very first time in public.
The Hawker Siddeley 748 is not a private jet but a 42-
50 passenger propeller plane which was heavily used in
both military and civilian versions.
I've flown in it often.

As far as I know Howard Hughes name is nowhere even
near-connected to Watergate.

The DeHavilland DH125 on the contrary is a very
successful businessjet also marketed as Hawker
Siddeley HS125 and as Hawker Raytheon 800.
