Here in the short lived two-tone red livery. The practice of applying the registration in small black letters on red (here just below the two rear windows) started when the airline name changed from Trans Canada Airlines circa 1967. I once asked a long term management employee why this was so since it was in contravention of regulations calling for them to be 'high contrast'. With typical arrogance of the time he said they went by the fleet number (in white) which was more important than any Transport Canada registration. Wow!
