As I mentioned the idea behind the scheme was the change from the Autair colours as a standard airline scheme to the Court Line holiday airline scheme.
I mentioned the base colours and what they represented. Each aircraft had THREE shades of the base colours so depending on how you look at it you would see different colours. There was no lilac in the original scheme and that came later.I was the Autair/Court airline rep at BAC for the 1-11 deliveries and was at the Dog and Pony show. I was also reponsible for the liason between Murdoch and BAC. He arrived at Hurn in a full length fur coat and a psychedelic painted Mini. BAC raction to all this was worthy of a TV show. BAC were very staid. As anyone who worked there in those days will remember they had a canteen - for workers, a dining room - for salaried staff and a Restaurant for managers ( and reps !!)
