I'm trying to find out a little bit of history on Ryanair and the BAC-111.
Can anyone confirm if EI-BSY and EI-BSZ ever wore the later scheme with the blue tail?
Similar question on EI-CAS, indeed did this machine ever actually fly for FR?
With Ryanair Europe / London European
I have G-BNIH as London European colours and later Ryanair.
However of G-DJOS / G-EKPT / G-FLRU there's not a lot out there. G-FLRU wore London European's full scheme but did either of the other two? Did G-FLRU ever go to Ryanair Europe?

As far as I can see, they did not; the aircraft which did operate with the blue were:
EI-BVG, CCU, CCW, CCX, CDO, CIB, CID, CIE.
I think EI-BSY and EI-BSZ were leased from RO; EI-BSZ became (or reverted to) YR-LCO in 1992 and was w/o at IST in 1995. Here's a photo of YR-LCO in 1992:

I have seen a photo of G-BNIH in Ryanair Europe colours. Here is a shot of another of the aircraft you listed:
Hope this helps; good luck with your research. I only got to fly on an FR BAC111 once (or twice, if you count the return trip), which was a DUB-Toulouse flight in May 1993. I thought it would never get off the ground. Slight different in power to weight ratio between the 738 and the B11!
