first air trading company ltd

[KeMac]

I am trying to find out about the First Trading Air Trading Co Ltd which Viking G-AMGJ was registered to in the mid-1950s. Could anyone tell me if they were associated with another airline as I can find no trace of them in the usual places?
Many Thanks

Hope this may help you. Checked TAHS Airlines and Airliners VICKERS VIKING.
""" Early in 1957 a major reorganisation took place with several companies coming under the umbrella of the EAGLE Group.
Eagle Airways Ltd. would operate the schedule services while Eagle Aviation Ltd. would operate all the charter, inclusive tour and trooping flights, while a new company called First Air Trading Ltd was formed to handle the buying and selling of aircraft, leaving Eagle Aircraft Services to concentrate on aircraft maintenance. """"

First Air Trading Ltd must have been formed before December 1955 as, according to G-INFO G-AMGJ was registered to them on 02 December 1955. The a/c was sold to Germany as D-AHUF on 06 April 1957.
