Orion Airways lasted just over three years from August 1957 until November 1960

They operated three Vikings G-AGRS,G-AHOS & G-APAT of which G-AHOS wore an almost pure over painted Eagle livery and the other two a similar livery with a few small differences.

Paints of all three

An unusual scheme Garry, and one I had never heard of. I initially thought when I saw the thread of the 1980's Airline.

Nice work!
