Spot of chaos on Thursday, then...

Aurigny jet lightning strike on Guernsey to Gatwick route - BBC News
GR chartered in two 737's to clear the backlog on Friday, one from Titan & the other from Aerovista. A Cello 146 was used the previous day along with company TR72's. LCY was cancelled all day on Thursday as G-HUET was tech & spares didn't arrive until (I believe) Friday morning, an ATR72 operated the morning GCI-LCY-GCI flight that day.

Yes, yet more tech problems...
Sunday pm - all 3 Tris and the Dornier were tech.
Monday am - 1 Tris serviceable
Monday pm - 2 Tris serviceable
Tuesday am - 2 tris serviceable
Tuesday pm - 2 tris and the Dornier back on line.
Took till 20:30 to clear 2 days worth of stranded pax.
The Danish Dornier still resting in the hangar - don't think its flown since it arrived at the end of June. What's going on ?

JOEY's retirement
Just flown GCI to BRS on GHUET.....interesting piece in Envoyage in-flight magazine which states that negotiations are in progress towards the handover of JOEY to the Solent Sky Museum in Southampton, near where he was built on the IoW. JOEY will have a late variant of the Spitfire and the Supermarine S6b Schneider trophy winner as his new mates!

G-SAYE
There is a comment of the Guernsey Press site asking "Is G-SAYE the one with the non-Dornier parts for which Dornier refuse to supply replacements..?". Is there any truth in this? Certainly SAYE is yet to operate in service so there has to be a reason for this.
After the tech issues a few week back with the Embraer LGW flights being covered by various leased 146 & 737 aircraft the sole ATR42 has now caught the 'tech bug' & it's LCY & BRS flights being covered by a Cello 146. This all must be costing GR a fortune.

If I had to hazard a guess it would be that Aurigny are operating the Dornier on the Portuguese airlines AOC (grupo?) and G-SAYE can't be used until the aircraft type is added to the Aurigny AOC.
