Just to make it clear about 411A's post above. That had nothing to do with Aer Turas. The L1011's were just put on the Aer Turas AOC. Aer Turas had no ownership etc of the aircraft. The "hot-shot" playboy owned the aircraft, controlled the aircraft commercially and paid all monies regarding the Tri-Stars. The "hot-shot" playboy never worked for Aer Turas but was based in the UK and had his own company, TBG. So payment of salaries, bills etc are nothing to do with Aer Turas.
A pity the pax ops stopped, as when it was flying, the operation was great. I'm sure some people remember EI-CNN flying in the summer of '99 for Air Scandic out of MAN. All the crews stayed in the Brittania. EI-CNN is alas, in AUH where it has been since the end of '99.
