Hello to all of you great painters on HJG I wondered if any of you could kindly do me a repaint of the L1011 in the same livery as it is but in the Blues used by Eastern Airlines.
I know Tony Madge did the red version which is in the downloads section known as Ship 1.
Many years ago when the L1011 first visited England it was flying over the Nottingham East Midlands Airport in the blue livery same as the red version I understand this was known as Ship 2.

No Aharon what I am saying that Ship 2 had the blue version or the livery of Ship 1
The Ship 2 had the two different blues that eastern airlines used in their livery.

What I believe "ANGELONE" means is "THIS" .... There was LOCKHJEED L1011 SHIP ONE which suppported the basic LOCKHEED HOUSE colours as follows ....  THEN .... there were also the folowing 3 aircraft, which although they were LOCKHEED owned/operated at the time, supported EASTERN registrations and basic airline livery/striping .... as follows .... LOCCKHEED/EASTERN 1971 LOCKHEED/EASTERN/COURT 1972 LOCKHEED/EASTERN/BEA 1972 All 4 of these aircraft were used in either testing and/or demonstration roles. I suspect the aircraft "ANGELONE" is referring to is possibly either the LOCKHEED/EASTERN/COURT .... or .... LOCKHEED/EASTERN/BEA liveried versions .... since these are the only 2 aircraft that ever visired the UK, on demonstration, and in advance of the first airline deliveries during the early 1970's ....

Yes that was the one that later had Court applied but the tail had the same tail logo as the red livery.
The Red and the Blue were done the same style liveries as each other.
It was a very proud day Tony when this beautiful plane landed.

I've never heard of it ....
Nor any other variation beyond the 4 aircraft I've presented above in accordance with the said description.... supported also by "THE GETTERS" finds as well.
"IF" .... it actually existed .... and went to the UK too .... then you can bet your botttom dollar an image of it will be turned up, but again, it's all news to me/us !!!!

The only two demos were with Eastern liveried aircraft, with Court titles and BEA titles.
As mentioned above, there was no blue version of the ship one livery. After ship one the other test and demo aircraft were all destined for eastern and liveried as such.
Great book link there.
however in reference to the BEA title and logo aircraft it says BEA never bought it. They did and already had before the demo flight. That's why the demo flight took place.
However BEA became British Airways before they were delivered. The TriStar was the last aircraft type ordered by BEA.
