slide scan from the NK collection. - Courtline suspended operations in August 1974; this TriStar survived a bit longer - its last flight was performed as EI-CNN in 1999 and ended at Abu Dhabi, where it was scrapped in 2006.

Seen here crew training soon after becoming the first TriStar to be based in Europe. Unfortunately the 'Halcyon Days' didn't last too long and on 15.8.74 Court Line collapsed. Bought back by Lockheed and eventually became Cathay Pacific's VR-HHV in 1977, staying with them for the next 20 years. After that she had an itinerant career as EI-CNN with Aer Turas, TBG, Kampuchea A/l and Air Scandic, being placed into storage at Abu Dhabi in 7.00 and ultimately scrapped in 11.06

This aircraft, named Halcyon Days, is seen at the airline maintenace area at Luton. It was the first Tristar on the British Register. Delivered to Court Line 28.02.73 Bought back by Lockheed 16.08.74.

This aircraft was ex Court line but carries no titles. I have been unable to find a log with the aircraft in it but Court Line went into bankruptcy on 15th August, 1974. The fact that it carries no titles means that it was after that date, but before it was flown to Palmdale where it was stored for a short time before being sold to Cathay Pacific as VR-HHV
