April 4th 1971 my wife and I flew Luton to Rome Ciampino on G-AXMG on our honeymoon. Painted in the green scheme the aircraft really stood out when we arrived in Rome.
Sometime in 1995 I was visiting Lasham and an unregistered 1-11 was at FLS in the colours of Nationwide, the South African carrier.
I went on board and looked at the manufacturer's plate which showed it to be XMG!
We returned from Rome on a pink machine G-AXMF, a flight that was memorable due to being buzzed by two USAF F-4 Phantoms over Germany.
