Not a very exciting one, this. But I do remember driving past the end of Rwy 25 at Newcastle one Saturday evening I think, and seeing a departing Sabre 727 passing VERY low over the road. Really didn't seem too far away from taking bits of the hedge with it.
Can't add much I'm afraid. All ex-Dan Air aircraft. I remember seeing them at Manchester now and then but I think they mainly operated from Gatwick.
I remember seeing them passing through Leeds Bradford once or twice but in the guise of Cougar Airways. Not much different to the Sabre livery but with a big cat added. I guess by this time Sabre had moved on to the 737-800.

Flew out LGW to portugal on a Sabre 727- 200 in the mid 90's,as far as I recall we boarded via the rear airstair which is always nice 
.
I also remember thinking - why would you shoehorn 3 engines onto such a small a/c
I really enjoyed the flight and do not remember anything bad about it at all !It was nice to fly in something a little different !

BTW I think it was a combination of lower powered engines/shortish rwy's for one airline and the overwater requirement for another airline.
Anyway it was a fun flight just because it was a different a/c to my usual flights !
