I think that was it, 3 B737-200 aircraft G-BGTY, G-BHVH, and G-BKHO were all leased to American West over the winter periods, so on their return they kept the white at the bottom of the fuselage, and the stripes were around the middle of the fuselage, so just changed them from blue to the Orion colour scheme thus saving them money! They never change the livery for the B737-300s and A300's.
I will have a look but threw most of my timetables out many years ago pre the internet thinking no one else would ever be interested!
I think Orion had a small/light aircraft that used to ferry the crew around as it would arrive at NCL before the 737.
have a look on the orion airways Facebook group and there are some pictures of the crew positioning around the country in it.
