Airline vans

Strange request for help, but it does have a historic aviation slant – honest! I am sure I am not the only forumite to take an interest in classic cars as well as aircraft. As a result of this dual affliction, I am about to take ownership of a 1977 Marina van (yes, I know!) which is need of a light restoration. I think it would look rather smashing in the colours of a ’70s airline or similar, and now is the time to plan – I can change the colour if need be without much extra effort.

So, who ran Marina vans, and does anyone have any pictures? In fact, pictures of ANY small van in period aviation related colours would be good as I can adapt the scheme to suit.

Thanks in advance!

The BEA Ford Thames van (Anglia) mentioned in this thread is for sale on Ebay right now. Not cheap, but immaculate condition and it would be nice to see it bought by someone who will keep it in BEA colours.
