                                  By August of 1978 Britt Airways began receiving the first of what would become a fleet of almost
                                  twenty Metro IIs.   The first to be delivered was N322BA, seen above at O'Hare in 1980 in this
                                  shot from the Gary C. Orlando collection.   Intended, ostensibly, to be operated on the Allegheny
                                  Commuter Services division of the airline (as opposed to its separate ex-Ozark routes) it was not,
                                  in fact, operated on those schedules and was the only Metro to be  painted in full Allegheny Commuter
                                  colors.
