I think they started with a C-54 then went to 2 or more DC-7C and finally DC-8 s.
Photos much appreciated.

Yup, I mentioned TAE above in my OP, they started off with DC Props (like all Spanish charter airlines did, TASSA Spantax and Transeuropa) and went on to jets.
A sole new BAC 1-11, Caravelles with PW engines, and a selection of ''Holiday Liners'' DC-8's series 20 30 and 50.
Aviaco had used Iberia Connies for IT's before getting their jets - One almost coming to grief at night in low-viz at LGW similar to Ariana, but the AO was coming in on 07 over Russ Hill.
I think they got away with twigs and some wood in the flaps and gear.
I think AO lost a Connie in the drink somewhere too.
