On This Day 2nd October 2015.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with a blue belly at the front, although the rear is mostly blue with a white roof, with a light blue stripe separating the 2 sections. There are blue "Blue Air" titles on the upper forward fuselage, above the passenger cabin windows, with smaller, darker "web.com" web address below the windows. The white registration "YR-BAJ" is on the lower rear fuselage., just ahead of the aft cabin door. The tail is mostly white, with a white leading edge, and white diagonal "Blue Air" titles and "Web.com" web address. A grey runway and taxiway, lined with green grass, fills the foreground, while trees stretch across the background, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a twin propellor engined airliner parked facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with large, blue, billboard-style "THT" titles on the forward fuselage, and the black registration "G-BRLY" on the lower rear fuselage, with the registration repeated under the left wing, outboard of the engine pod. The blue tail has a white circle in the middle, containing a stylised flying blue bird. A temporary metal fence stretches across the foreground, with the T-tail of another plane just visible over the top of this plane in the background, under flat grey skies.

G-BRLY, British Aerospace Advanced Turbo Prop (ATP), THT on static display at the Woodford Air Show, 27th June 1992.

This was delivered to THT about a week after this photo was taken, but only lasted a couple of months, being returned by the end of the September.

It carried these basic colours for a lot longer, though…
