Jet petrol was founded in Rotherham in 1953 by a chap called Bill Roberts - that's according to the internet anyway, but more likely by Hansons of Huddersfield - see way down in comments below. At the time he founded his petrol company, he didn't have a specific brand name for it, but the first delivery of oil tankers they were to use featured registration plates with JET on them (ET being one of the main Rotherham area letter codes) so that seemed the obvious choice. I am guessing the first Jet branded forecourt was established in 1954. Jet became rapidly known as a discount brand, doing so well that it was only a matter of eight years before Conoco bought out the company. Little changed until into the next century when Conoco merged with Phillips 66 in 2002. In 2012 the Conoco Phillips company was divided into upstream and downstream, so Phillips 66 took control of all the downstream sites in the UK, but the Jet name continues to be used.
Jet had a number of different logos over the years, the earliest featuring a delta wing jet plane but soon replaced with a more simple amber sign with Jet in black on it. There were subtle variants of these signs, earlier versions had canted edges, later ones were parallel, and there were examples of a different font being used for the logo. By the later 1970s Jet had established what I refer to as the "1970s council house livery" in amber and beige, the sign still being black on amber, and then once that sort of colour scheme had truly fallen from favour, in 1989 they introduced the "lego" style livery with a royal blue and yellow logo and livery which at the time felt like a considerable departure. That lasted into the next century, but in 2003 the logo was updated again, now using more of a navy blue and amber. That is the logo style which remains to the present day, although a new variant was introduced a few years ago adjusting the colours very slightly and utilising more grey on the overall livery, currently for some reason highly popular in marketing
Below I'll add examples of each variant.
As an aside, even in the 1970s when I was a young lad, I was already aware that Jet petrol was generally cheaper than other brands, and the name seemed cool too!
Very few Jet branded keyrings exist, so far I've only been able to acquire two, one celebrating their fiftieth anniversary in 2004, and the other features the current logo style, and the keyring doubles up as a supermarket trolley token!

"S/N" is the aircraft's serial number. "L/N" is a Boeing code denoting what order the airframe came off the production line. "F/N" refers to an individual airline's fleet numbering system. Not all airlines use a fleet number; not all manufacturers use a line number.

OK, so its a Spanish one, and a McDonnell Douglas Mk II, rather than the Hawker classic, but so cool to see this iconic aircraft. In the background is a Constellation. Farnborough Air Show, UK, 18 July 2014
My grandfather used to own a bar in Middletown CT in the 50's and 60's. I came across some photos he had of the place and this machine appeared in one of them. It was kind of blurry and in black and white so I didn't know exactly what the colors were or what all the wording was, but I did my best to represent it here.
