Mistral is the ATC callsign for Mistral Air ( http://www.mistralair.it/ ). Btw if you click in the video link you'll see quite a good vid of a QC in action.

Looks like OpenSkies is using it now then :P Unless someone is messing about on Wikipedia.

I'm struggling to remember the BEA sideline co. that operated as a holiday firm in the 70's. Using Comets initially IIRC. I think they still used Bealine as their callsign though.

British Airtours

Yep! Cheers. They didn't become the actual "Airtours" (From Rochdale/ Bolton?) did they?

Wasn't it 'BEA Airtours' whilst the Comet's were employed ? Surely they had all been retired by the time BEA became BA and Britsh Airtours came into being...?

Correct, BEA Airtours 1969 - 1974, British Airtours 1974 - 1988. Commonly known though just as Airtours.

Indeed and certainly not to be confused with what was the precursor of 'My Travel'...
