BAC had some good success with the One-Eleven across the Caribbean and Latin America, most of the small carriers from Central America took it, and there was an amount of sharing of aircraft, dual titles, and secondhand transactions between them. During the UK winter Court Line, the colourful holiday flight operator, even used to hire an aircraft for a few months while the resident fleet went back for major overhauls. Aviateca had one of Court's orange ones in winter 1971-72. I wonder if it ever made it to New Orleans.

The BAC Americas chief salesman, he was one of their former and quite prominent test pilots, moved the BAC sales office from New York City to Miami about 1969. I suppose we could make a Bonus Question from that. What is the shortest way from New York to Miami for him, using ONLY scheduled BAC-built aircraft ?
