One for me I guess but this was a completely different, independent Orion Airways, which ran from 1957-60, mainly based out of Blackbushe, but this closed in 1960 so they used at Gatwick at the end. Holiday charters and odd other stuff, initially one hand-me-down Vickers Viking for their first two seasons, then three, but business fell away and they closed. Livery two shades of green.

Well remembered, senior engineer.
