Can anyone remember when BUA changed to the Sandstone and light blue livery on the VC10? Pictures of the original and revised livery welcome.

Didn’t see any BUA aircraft in the sandstone/blue livery until May 1967.

G-ARTA was bought from Laker about 1969, so that one never wore the old livery.

Summer 1966, although I cannot remember what I used as a source for this. For photos see these links:
