British Airways
I was trying to find an aircraft registration but I was having trouble. It was a BA L1011 Tristar, and the only other thing I know is that it was called "The Silk Rose" . . . or maybe it was "The (something) Silk Rose". Anybody have a registration log or anything to help me with this one?

It was a TriStar 200 G-BGBC (c/n 1182) And its name was "The Shot Silk Rose" Its not owned by American International. When BA changed to the To Fly to Serve Livery it was re-named to "St Andrews Bay".
Hope that helps! Those L1011 looked sooo lovely!
Any more info??!!

Thank you Mooney, I'm positive that's what it was. Yeah, they were great, eh!
Thanks anyway airsmiles . . . but i'm pretty sure it was the "The Shot Silk Rose".
In fact, "Loch Avon" (G-BBAH) was always named that way, I believe. Caledonian themselves got rid of all their Tristars shortly before the JMC takeover, so JMC never had L10's, just those two rickety DC-10's which are now one rickety DC-10.
Cheers,

Mooney - can't argue with a pic !
I wish these people who write books would get the facts right though.
Sfly - Can't imagine why anyone would want to name a/c after boring subjects like roses, castles, rivers etc. When I get my own airline like The Guv. I'm going to name my a/c after female celebrities who have taken their kit off on screen.

Now that's what I call a decent livery. None of your schoolkid artwork or graffiti. Mind you, they obviously had trouble spelling the word "Airways" so decided not to risk it...
