Just a comment about the details for the Channel Air Bridge model. This wasn't 1980's scheme. G-ANYB was the first Carvair "built" in 1961 and I believe it rolled out in this scheme. The scheme didn't last too long as Channel Air Bridge were quickly absorbed in to the newly created British United. Freddie Laker being involved with whole concept of Carvair and the forming BUA I recollect. I don't think the CAB scheme lasted more than 2 years, up until 1963/4 perhaps, but it was very bright and cheerful.
