Hi Techy

I have searched Google images Eatern airways Shorts 330 but 'zilch.'

There was a b/w picture in 'Aviation News' November 1988 but no registration letters were given.

Can any other forum user help with a photo or image please?

Hi Guys

G-EASI was one...there was a lot of moaning at the time as those marks had been worn on the old system by the famous Vimy Commercial.

Searching in a different way on Google I found this;

That link just worked for me. I don't know if the Registration letters were repeated above the starboard wing since as you can see they appear below the port wing.

Really good colour photo.

I just spent an hour browsing the lovely Shorts 330/360 book by P.R. Smith which was published in the Air Portfolio series back in 1986 (same style as the later Airlife "Airliner Markings" series). Two entries caught my attention and here is hoping that I can lure somebody "across the border" into doing a repaint of a foreign carrier:

One repaint I would love to see is the Shorts 330 in Hawaiian Airlines' colors. Hawaiian acquired some 330s in the late 1970s for services to the smaller airfields of the archipelago, but it soon turned out that the shoebox could not cope with the amount of luggage the average traveller brought along. So the type was soon replaced by the Dash 7. I only found one picture of a Hawaiian Shorts 330 on a.net:

The other repaint is of German regional DLT which had really nice and colorful liveries in its pre-Lufthansa days (just think about the "Red Barron" HS748...). The Shorts 330 operation of the late 1970s/early 1980s was the nucleus of what today is Lufthansa Cityline. The Shorts 330 was used to open up services to many of the regional that nowadays have jet operations by the likes of airberlin, Lufthansa Cityline etc.
