Just to get you started.
I realise there is too much information there but it is there if you want to match routes to liveries and paints. I.e. Jersey Bournenouth could be operated with a Jersey Airlines or a BU (CI) A or the BUA sand and Blue (Just) but not by BUIA or Air UK if you follow.
This is not complete but a start.
The Glasgow and Newcastle from Jersey dissappered early on and the Gatwick-Nice may have only been the first year or so of Jersey Airlines operations......it was IT
Others such as the BAF can follow but you may be more familiar with those.
John....don't forget AA used G-ASVO that went to Jersey at weekends but I don't know where it was mainly during the week.

Grimsetter
Began life as RAF Grimsetter in 1940, as one of the new RAF Fighter Command stations. At the outbrake of WWII its construction was given priority over other new airfields, in order that fighter aircraft would be available to protect the fleet in Scapa Flow.
Later in the war it was tranferred to the FAA as HMS Robin, finally became a civilian airport in 1948 and known as Kirkwall Airport (EGPA / KOI)
Pre-war, Kirkwall had been served by Wideford airfield, but it was deemed unsuitable for expansion and development for the 'modern' multi-engined aircraft, hence the switch to Grimsetter in 1948.
Grimsetter, later Kirkwall Airport
A Viscount stands outside the then new terminal building.
A couple of useful and interesting links :-
Wartime Orkney
Highland and Islands Airports Ltd.
...as for timetable for the Northern Scottish Routes - sorry but can't help.
Regards
John
Some background info for your interest:-Grimstter? (Where's that)
