When received from Quebecair in March 1984, this Welsh airline's first aircraft retained the basic blue colours of the Canadian operator with red Airways Cymru titles, which were quickly changed to white as seen here and then to a much larger red style before full colours were adopted in 1986

Once no stranger to London Airport as British Eagle's G-ATPH, this 1-11 was acquired by Airways Cymtu in March 1984 from Quebecair (C-FQBN) and was initially operated in the blue overall scheme inherited from that carrier. Seen here on a rare return to Heathrow for a charter, it passed to Dan Air in April 1988 as G-BPNX after Cymru's demise, ending up as 5N-MZE with Okada. Scrapped 2016

Rare capture of Airways Cymru's first aircraft soon after delivery from Quebecair, wearing red titles. These were soon changed to white and later back to red again, but in a much larger style. Eventually, the aircraft was painted in Cymru's own colours

Built for British Eagle and delivered April 28, 1967, this BAC 111 was bought by Quebecair after the British carrier ceased operations in November 1968. Registered April 15, 1969, it was one of seven operated by Quebecair as their first jets. C-FQBN returned to the UK as G-YMRU for Airways International Cymru based in Cardif, Wales as their first aircraft. Dan Air London picked up the airliner after the Welsh carrier ceased operations in 1988. Last with Okada Air as 5N-MZE, it is stored at Benin City in derelict condition at the time of uploading.
