Nice photos cj !!
The first three aircraft in the top photo are the original scheme. The other aircraft are aircraft that were adapted to go out on lease such as LIAT. The COURT decals were added for UK use. |
This is the scheme I was referring to, worn by G-AXLM on lease from BMA 9/73-4/74 . G-AXLN was leased in a similar scheme 3/72-9/73.

There is a documentary on you tube about clarksons holidays great shots of 1 11 a good publicity shot also shots of courtline coaches arriving at Luton with eager holiday makers they where the days

I suspect Court Line took a leaf out of Braniff's Book. 'Scuse Thread Drift! Scroll down for B727s.

As anyone who worked there in those days will remember they had a canteen - for workers, a dining room - for salaried staff and a Restaurant for managers ( and reps !!)

Slight aside we to at BA enjoyed the 'mess' alongside TBA canteen, table service and alcohol readily available (not free mind). This was eventually closed with the opening of the Hatton Cross club, to which many hundreds adjourned to at Friday lunchtime, in addition to other lunchtimes. The late Lord Marshall closed that down as part of economic cutbacks but also due to many staff not returning to work on a Friday afternoon.
PS; What a dreadful uniform no doubt in 110% polyester! |

Made up for all those 3am breakfasts in the adjacent Runway Canteen. |
CJ those "modern" stands are far too uncluttered!....I wish it was was like that in reality!;)

I found this in a 1957 issue of the RAF Flying Review magazine.

Totally wrong about the uniforms Im afraid. Uniform colours were Green/Pink and yellow and each cabin crew member kept the same colour (and didn't have a wardrobe ) of multi coloured uniforms. Likewise rosters were not matched to individual coloured aircraft. You could have an all green uniformed crew on a pink aircraft for instance-or a random mix of colours.
The first yellow coloured uniforms were a much lighter -definite yellow-but they changed later to a more definite orange. All ground girls were green. PS Im a former Court line ops and crewing person-married to a Court Line Yellow/Orange hostie! !!) Graham Alexander Are these two air or ground crew as Halcyon Days says ground girls wore green. They look ground to me but I could be wrong. https://i.imgur.com/GpVv01L.jpg Graham Alexander |

I seem to recall when Monarch were doing their own handling, all equipment was parked either outside their hangar or in the space now occupied by hangar 127. Leaving equipment anywhere on the apron was verboten. The old photo posted by LTNman would appear to support this, with little or no clutter in evidence. Ahh..the good old days.... |
There is only one set of equipment per stand now which all handling agents now share.
|
I think the request was if an actual photograph of actual aircraft existed - not some computer mock-up.

Even though the CGI is nice to look at it doesn't really do it for me compared to the real thing :-) |
Ltnman - Your photo of the two young ladies by the car park.......
It looks from their uniform logo as though they are Clarksons Holidays Staff. The Duty Officer depicted in the photo of The Court Line check in desk is Mike Duval - a splendid chap. I wonder where he is now? |
In 1969, I met up with my old British Eagle housemate Bob Ashley-Haskins. I think he was Autair's Traffic Manager by then. "Here you go Scruggs, cast your eyes on the new corporate identity" he said.
My reaction was somewhat similar to that of Alan de Cadenet nearly having a haircut from Ray Hanna in a passing Spitfire. "Quite" said Bob. :) |

The first Autair aircraft at Luton was a DC3 G-AJIC. Was there any pictures of that one ?? |
According to Colours in the Sky the first DC3 was G-AMGD which was obtained on 8/4/1960. G-AJIC arrived a year later in March 1961. I assume G-AMGD visited Luton

However, all three handling agents still have a multitude of vehicles....which are usually dumped in large numbers on stands closest to crewrooms! |
