I know this post went in a while ago, but BMA had got into mainstream holiday charters well before then. The three One-Eleven 500 bought new in 1970 were principally used on such work, for holiday operators like Vistajet. However, this only lasted a few years and I presume was not profitable; they later spent much time leased out to Court Line. They did some scheduled operations around this work. One in the 1972 season was based at Prestwick.
