G-ATTO Agusta Bell 47-J2 operated by Autair Helicopters and was written off when it force landed into the sea near Equatorial Guinea November 1968. First registered during 1966.


From the book Colours In The Sky: The story of Autair International Airways and Court Line. In 1966 Autair obtained a contract to supply crews and expertise to King Idris 1 and Libya's Royal Flight. 5A-DAC & 5A-DAD were operated under the auspices of Libyan Arab Airlines. 5A-DAD was destroyed by Israeli Air Force during the 6 Day War 5th June 1967. The sole remaining Lear was then replaced by 2 new Falcon 20s 5A-DAF & 5A-DAG. This Lear Jet was finally cancelled from the US register during 2011.


Aero Commander 680E (385-67) N1006S built in 1965.
