Hunting Cargo Airlines was a Irish cargo company ancestor of Air Contractor. In the early nineties was operating on European hubs for DHL and UPS with its Boeing 727-200. I hope the livery of this historic cargo company meet the interests of talented painters!  Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.usBye bye and thank you!! Niclong81 |

I don´t think theres any connection between these HUNTING CARGO and HINDUJA CARGO SERVICES operated aircraft .... or even thee 2 operators´either.
B727-243 (F) ADV N59412 (c/n 22053 l/n 1620) .... seems to have stated life with ALITALIA and flown with each of the following operators ....
ALITALIA I-DIRN May 23rd 1980
PEOPLE EXPRESS N582PE February 25th 1985
CONTINENTAL AIRLINES February 1st 1987
re-registered N59412 December 1990
Converted to pure freighter during August 16th 1996
HINDUJA CARGO SERVICES N59412 1996
re-registered VT-LCB
PACIFIC COASTAL GROUP N198PC July 17th 2000
TOTAL LINHAS AEREAS CARGO PT.MTQ November 1st 2000
I´d say any similarity in the liveries of both the HUNTING and HINDUJA aircraft are "purely coincidental".
If CONTINENTAL aIRLINES still operated the HINDUJA aircraft during the early 1990´s (as the above history suggests was the case) then it would also likely have supported the airlines blue/white/gold/grey livery of that period .... and which would also explain the basic blue/grey livery supported by this particular aircraft when it was operated by HINDUJA.
The HUNTING aircraft .... B727-223 (F) EI-HCC (c/n 1940 l/n 545 .... this one isn´t an ADV model) .... appears to have originally been an AMERICAN AIRLINES operated aircraft which then progressed as follows ....
AMERICAN AIRLINES N6805 March 25th 1968
PRTIVATE JET N6805 June 4th 1994 "leased"
AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL AIRWAYS/KALITTA January 1995 "converted to pure freighter"
HUNTING CARGO AIRLINES EI-HCC September 27th 1995 "also converted to HK3 standard"
CONTRACT AIR CARGO (ex HUNTING CARGO AIRLINES) EI-HCC August 14th 1998
