**ahem cough**

Brymon did it from back in the 1970's via NQY or PLH (and EXT too i think) to LHR or LGW using the Herald and Dash 7 (lovely a/c)

I handled BC at LHR 1977-1985 good times
always loved it when pax turned up with a ticket LHR-NQY-ISC and we tagged their bags right through to the island

sometimes we got interliners from ISC to NQY then into LHR on the evening service bound for CPT BKK or SYD - bags tagged through and we would do a tarmac transfer for the pax straight to their SAA or QF jumbo on the T3 stands
happy days
