court line only went to LGW in a bigger capacity when they bought horizon holidays and 4S Travel in 1973 which did no good to assist their rapid decline
horizon was a staunch BUA/BCAL charter operator (in fact BUA bought the 1-11 501's for Horizon's work in 1969) and court had to pay them alot of dosh to cancel the contracts that horizon had with BCAL which court subsequently flew for horizon out of LGW
the tristars appeared now and again at LGW in 73 and 74 - i think on some long haul stuff to Caribbean etc
horizon midlands was not bought by the court group and subsequently they started up Orion AW some years later
