This seems to be turning into an obsession.....

I thought I'd covered most of the Liat liveries but found a slide of VP-LIU (sn 1592) for sale on ebay. The aircraft was only on lease for 4 months, so it looks like a basic re-title job. Not their most colourful livery but first time I've seen it, the only problem is whatever's on the tail isn't very clear. Short of spending 3 quid + postage and seeing if the actual slide gives the game away, on the offchance I don't suppose anyone's got another picture of the aircraft somewhere in their collection :prayer: ?? I've stuck the Union Flag on the tail for now, but it'd be nice to get it 100%. Now where's my life gone....?
Cheers
Jon

Can't find anything other than that ebay slide
That is very bleached and the blue you have is too light
It appears to just be a white tail with a jack on it
Perhaps a simplified version of this

Garry,
Ta very much, that's a great site, and has been bookmarked
I'll match the blue to the lighter blue in your Autair c/s in the texturepacks.
That other livery is a variation on the one I just did for VP-LAA, so should be easy to cobble together. Fortunately I just got a good quality scan of the early 70s logo/title off the business card of Liat's Traffic Manager in 1972, who these days just happens to be our CDG Station Manager, small world ...
Thanks again for those pointers.
Jon

'LIU looks much better with the darker Autair blue. I wish you'd never given us that link Garry, too many ideas ;-)
