Hi all,
Could some one please provide a run down of the evolution of the TAA scheme carried by the Friendships from delivery to before turning into AA? I've tried Airliners.net and that is like trying to figure out what came first, the chicken or the egg.
What I have figured out:
1980s:
Hockey Stick Orange/White/blue
1970s:
White 'T' on tail. Blue mid section. White top. Grey underside.
1960s:
White tail with "TAA" and "Friendship" in a blue band with red stripe. White top. grey underside. Blue/white/red stripe with Kangaroo near nose.
1950s:
As above but with dayglo orange or red tail and "The Nation's Jetline" on the fuselage under the stripe. Natural metal underside.
If anyone can fill in the gaps or provide further information (or official scheme names) that would be appreciated.
I know it's probably one for the TAA musuem but I thought I would ask the learned types here first.
Thanks
CRN
