My records show that Redcoat had various Britannias over time, both BOAC-original and RAF-original ones, from mid-1977 to the end of 1981, which had all already been handed down through a variety of other independents. They rarely operated more than a couple at once, The loss of BRAC at Boston was in February 1980.

Some of the Britannias had a red tail with white logo, while for others this was reversed.

The livery of the "Red Air" aircraft was a minimal title alteration and it was perfectly apparent whose aircraft it was. It was apparently done on one side only, and they did one air-to-air photo sortie which gave them enough footage for the series.
