Does anyone remember the different coloured Planes, and what they were called, and also what happened to them.

Do you mean BA when they painted all the tails of their planes
Well, I'm glad that you could make some sort of sense of this question, Calmck. I certainly couldn't!

Assuming that Calmck has got it right, see here for a full history of the designs, together with pictures:

The only thing I could think of apart from Easy Jet being orange but tha seemed too simplistic. I think other overseas airlines paint their planes different colours and Virgin is prenominately red.
I do recall one airline (Qantas?) advertising Lord Of The Rings on at least one of it's aircraft. Other than that, the only coloured planes i recall seeing are the ones in children's story books:-)
Budgie ?

No the planes were all different colours all over the bodywork, greens, blues, yellows, you would need to be of a certain age to remember.
Greens and yellows? That's camouflage, fruitsalad :-))
did they all belong to the same airline?
Question Author
Yes jno they all belonged to the same airline, they obviously went out of business a long time ago.

No ubasses none of those, but thanks for the link, If I eventually find out which company it was I will be sure to put it on this post.

The Penny's just dropped they were called Court Line, and based only at Luton Airport I believe.
Question Author
They also had them in pink :)
I don'tb remember them, here is something about them.

Are you thinking of Braniff ?
Don't recall Court Line, nor the pastel colours. Maybe one needed to be near Luton at the time.
Many years ago I knew someone who used to fly for Court Line. She was the most outrageous crew member I ever knew and that was in the face of stiff competition.
