====Disposal of airline's assets==== [[File:Dan-Air London BAC 1-11 G-BDAT.jpg|thumb|G-BDAT (G-AYOR when in service with Court) was one of four [[BAC One-Eleven#The One-Eleven 500, 510ED and 475|BAC One-Eleven 500]]s [[Dan-Air]] acquired in 1974 following Court Line's bankruptcy. The aircraft is seen here in Dan-Air's contemporary livery at [[Galileo Galilei Airport|Pisa Airport]] in 1975.]] Following the spectacular crash of Court Line and Clarksons at the height of the 1974 holiday season, the failed carrier's fairly new aircraft were acquired by other airlines. [[Cathay Pacific Airways|Cathay Pacific]] took the two L-1011 TriStar widebodies while [[Dan-Air]] and [[Monarch Airlines]] respectively purchased four and two of the One-Eleven 500 [[narrow-body aircraft|narrowbodies]]. These aircraft needed to be re-registered to avoid having them impounded by overseas airport authorities in lieu of the airport user charges Court Line owed them.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1975/1975%20-%200129.html |title=''Airliner Market'', Air Transport, Flight International, 23 January 1975, p. 89 |access-date=6 August 2009 |archive-date=19 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121019203535/http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1975/1975%20-%200129.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1975/1975%20-%200451.html |title=''Airliner Market'', Air Transport, Flight International, 13 March 1975, p. 391 |access-date=6 August 2009 |archive-date=19 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121019203447/http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1975/1975%20-%200451.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1975/1975%20-%202311.html |title=''BAC One-Eleven'', Commercial Aircraft of the World, Flight International, 23 October 1975, p. 625 |access-date=6 August 2009 |archive-date=19 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121019203343/http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1975/1975%20-%202311.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>''The Spirit of Dan-Air'', Simons, G.M., GMS Enterprises, Peterborough, 1993, pp88/9</ref>
