The airline with the lion on the tail was called ALLIANCE with a single Boeing 747 SP that was leased from South African Airlines that also had a major interest in the airline.

Other African airlines previously seen at Gatwick during the 70s, 80s and 90s upto the early part of this century including the ones you mentioned are.

African Safari Airlines (charter)
Air Afrique
Air Algerie
Air Gabon
Air Gambia
Air Malawi
Air Mauritius
Air Namibia
Air Nigeria
Air Seychelles
Air Tanzania
Air Zimbabwe
Cameroon Airlines
Daalo Airlines
Ethiopian Airlines
Ghana International Airways
Nationwide Airlines
Sierra Leonne Airways
TACV
Virgin Nigeria
Uganda Airlines

It would be great to see a wider range of African airlines reappear at Gatwick in the future as obviously slots at Heathrow would be hard to obtain plus too expensive for them.
