Court Line's 'gamble' wasn't the cause of its demise - there were many more factors involved, largely Court Line's parent company's precariously highly geared investment in the shipping and leisure industry sectors and the fuel crisis of 1973. Court Line as a carrier was a viable business but a proposed MBO was rejected as its liquidation value was needed to pay off the debts of its parent company .... allegedly!!

Well feel free to amend the article accordingly. GRAHAMUK 06:56, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Reference superscripts

Hi. This seems a comprehensive history, but I'd say has too many reference superscripts appearing within it. Could there be say just one per paragraph that list the references for that paragraph, rather than one or more per sentence (or even clause), please? 213.246.90.75 (talk) 19:03, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tristar image removal

I am proposing to remove the following image for several reasons.

Court Line did not lease this aircraft. N305EA was undertaking a worldwide sales tour during 1972, before delivery to Eastern Airways. It undertook one promotional flight for Court Line, out of Manchester, followed by a quick visit to the paint shop, and re-appearance with BEA logo and tail markings. It was in this guise that it appeared at the Farnborough Airshow in September, and at other locations around Europe, before continuing the world tour.
Because it is a black&white photograph, we can only imagine the full effect of those delightful hostesses in their "multi-coloured uniforms".
But because the hostesses are taking centre-stage, we cannot see much of the aircraft either.

It may have been an important promotional photograph for Court Line, but I feel it does not add enough to justify continued inclusion in this article.
