BEA / AIR MALTA research .... HELP REQUIRED !
Posted: 14 May 2006, 23:46
Folks ! .... I'm looking at doing another COMET feature/article for FS, this time focussing on some of the rarer hybrid liveries which resullted from various leases.
BEA occasionally leased other aircraft types to AIR MALTA. Such aircraft typically retained their basic BEA ("Red Suare") livery version .... but with the "BEA" titles removed and replaced with a "Maltese Cross" and "AIR MALTA" titles below this and inside that box. I've seen good clear photographic evidence of this in relation to other BEA/AIR MALTA leased aircraft types already.
I also know BEA did occasionally leased COMET 4B aircraft to AIR MALTA.
What I want to know is which particular BEA COMET 4B aircraft were involved in these AIR MALTA leases .... and .... did they support the same BEA Red Square"/AIR MALTA) branding as described above.
Can anyone throw some light on this ?
References to images would e greatly appreciated too if available.
"MANY THANKS" in advance !
