I personally have operated from MAN, EMA, LGW, BHX, LTN, STN and Liverpool to Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, France, Germany and all of the Islands.
Sadly it didn,t last long and was swallowed up by Britannia.
Thankyou, classic.

The Orion A300 never graced the LBA concrete. I'm not sure the 733 did either, at least not until the fleet had been subsumed into Britannia's, by which time the 733 visited at least once a week until Britannia disposed of the fleet.

Orion didn't have a base at LBA, 'W' patterns only, albeit in significant numbers.
