Norjet

I haven't read all the posts but have noted the recurring Norjet thread.

Norjet was certainly used for a short period by the Northeast Viscounts and Tridents. There was a good deal of 'mocking' the Viscount crews about their pretensions of grandeur and eventually, for whatever reason, the Norjet c/s was dropped by the Viscount fleet. It may also have been dropped by the Trident fleet at the same time, not sure about that!.

I think that 'Albion' superseded Norjet and I think the 'Albion' idea originated from the then Base Captain at LBA, Peter Owen.
