Ted,

First of all, welcome to the forum.

Following the BA take over of British Caledonian, BA’s charter subsidiary British Airtours was renamed Caledonian. While the British Airtours livery was effectively the BA Landor livery with the ‘Airways’replaced by ‘Airtours’ in the airline name and the crest removed from the tail fin, Caledonian had a more radical redesign with the ‘Speedwing’ replaced by a yellow cheatline, and a yellow lion on the tail. It looked absolutely fantastic on the TriStar.

As you say, Caledonian only operated charter flights, albeit they did operate scheduled services to the Carribean for BA for a couple of years using DC-10s. They must have disappeared at about the turn of the century when the tour operated BA had sold the airline to was taken over itself to form JMC Air.
