1-11 LHR

I remember two 1-11s arriving at the engineering base at LHR from South America. They I believe were destined for a new start up airline British Mediterrean (nothing to do with present group) and one was resprayed in a great colour scheme. I hazard a guess that this was some 15-20 years ago.

I remember an engineer showing me the undercarriage which he stated was converted for rough strip landing. Needless to say BA was left with a big bill when the outfit went broke prior to operation. The 1-11 decamped to LTN. Anyone any recollections on who it was and any of the history.
