I remember flying in that aircraft from Barbados to Antigua in, I think , 1973 when Liat were using it !

[Garry Russell]

Which one is it?...there was more than one that colour

[cstorey]

I didn't think so , Garry. they had several , all in psychedelic colours, but I thought all were different , purple, yellow, blue etc

[Garry Russell]

They were, but there was more than one of each.

[Court Line Flyer]

There were four colours;
Yellow/Orange
Pink
Green/Turquoise
Lilac

The pic in my signature panel is of lilac G-AZEC at Ljubljana in 1974 just before we flew back to Luton, and not long before the airline folded. For some strange reason I've been obsessed with Court Line ever since!

[Garry Russell]

Yep what I mean is there were I think three lilac painted.

I think all the Lilac went to LIAT on lease for various periods.

There was a South American Airline whose name escapes me that had two One-Elevens in Court colours even though they, or the aircraft had nothing to do with Court or Clarksons.

A very quick check confirms this Garry. AXMG and AXMJ were light blue, MK and MH were yellow, ML, MI and MF were pink.. this is without checking the entire fleet.

BTW.. MG went to Nationwide, this is probably (one of) the airframes you're thinking about

Nope the South Americans in Court livery were bought new. Never were with Court.

G-AXMG went to Nationwide many, many years after Court. Served with Bavaria, Monarch and BIA

Anyhow

All I was asking was which aircraft this is as it not the only Lilac.

[DaveB]

OK.. I'll shut up then
