World Airlines :
Yes, I rememer them. An astoundingly all-embracing name for an operation on one route (LCY-AMS) which required one aircraft daily.
They had a fleet of two 146 jets, G-WLCY (2030) which turned up in March 1996, and G-OWLD (2031), which came in July 1996, both ex-US Airways which had been stored in Arizona for some years. Operations didn't start until the second aircraft turned up, after several false starts and missed deadlines, and they were out of business in a few months, sometime in Autumn 1996.
They had ads on LBC radio in London, and several London black taxis done up in the same livery as allover advertisments.
When they went under one of the aircraft was seized on the LCY ramp and sat there for weeks, where gate 9 now is, with a van parked in front of it. The LCY ramp was quieter then !

There are several other photos of them on Airliners.net.
2030 and 2031 are now with Cityjet (EI-PAT and EI-CNQ) and can still be seen at LCY from time to time.
