Just a reminder: Courtline also bought out an interisland carrier in the W.I named Leeward Islands Air Transport. They used local crew to operate Avros and BAC 111s inter island. When Courtline folded, inter-island air transport virtually ceased in the eastern caribbean. A few days later, several regional governments came together, got a loan from the government of Venezuela and re-opened the company as LIAT(1974)Ltd. LIAT is still flying today.
Everyone remembers those colourful (and noisy) 111s
