Your posting does remind me that following the Courtline bankruptcy all the 1-11-500s were registered in UK, with none of them retaining their former Courtline identities; but then again following British Eagle's demise (I am showing my age!!!) the Britannias all retained their British Eagle identities when they were operated by Monarch.
I wonder if there are legal differences between leased and owned airframes, or the wording of the leases perhaps.
