But it was a well-conceived livery from a marketing view, everyone around seemed to have noticed it. First seen at the opening ceremony for London City, when an LCA and a Brymon Dash 7 flew in close formation minimum speed low level both ways over the LCY crowd before landing.

Did I say close formation ? Read VERY close formation. Harry Gee driving the Brymon one again, just as he did when the did the demo landing where Canary Wharf offices are now.

Inter City Airlines was an Alidair offshoot, with Viscounts and Short 330s.

Last Dash 7 I saw active was Arkia in Israel, Christmas 2008.
